Can't resist a close up of this guy! I can't resist photographing these Swamphens. The most unusual colours for a brown wetland bird. #birds#ElHondo

After a busy and exhausting weekend, how about a chill black & white image of 4 poles and a Flamingo. Hope you've all had a great weekend in nature! #birds#ElHondo

I think it's time for a silhouette thread. Let me start off with four flying Glossy Ibis from this morning at #ElHondo#birds

One of the many Little Egrets floating around currently. I do like it when the light shows through the wings, showing the feathers. #ElHondo#birds

A Flamingo wondering what is that passing it by. Must be the last we will see of these Great crested Grebes until next migration. #birds#ElHondo

A Greater Flamingo looking confused as a Great crested Grebe swims past. The good morning greeting was not responded to by the Grebe. Typical of these holiday makers.

A Little ringed Plover keeping a look out for predators. Something to take seriously when dragonflies have bigger wingspans! Have a great week all. #ElHondo#birds

Four photos of a Little ringed Plover, turning its head in all directions, in order to look up in the sky for predators. Seen bigger dragonflies today than this guy.

Pleased to see the Spoonbills back yesterday. A group of 16 fishing together with a couple of Spotted Redshanks in with them. Spotted from the south El Hondo hides. #birds#ElHondo
