Bluethroat - Delta Ebre, Spain

When we first arrived on the Delta Ebre, we parked up in a free Camperstop at Casa de Fusta restaurant, overlooking the largest lagoon on the Delta.
With cuppa in hand we sat and watched the Flamingos, Herons and Egrets coming and going around us.
I noticed a small Robin-like bird flit in and out of the reeds to feed on the edge of a muddy puddle very close to our campervan. In my eagerness to photograph anything that moved, I took a few shots which initially didn't look very impressive. Then I enlarged them and got really, really excited - it turned out to be a Bluethroat! Not only a very special bird, hardly seen in the UK, but it's been the only Bluethroat we've seen here all week too!
