Sardinian Warbler, Les Cases D'Alcanar, Spain

After an exhilarating week on the Delta del Ebro, surrounded by exciting and varied birdlife, we needed a hot shower and electricity - to do all the things that require electricity, well mainly involving a hairdryer!

We found a quiet little campsite in a small fishing port South of the Delta, in Les Cases D'Alcanar, one of the few campsites open in January.  It was a little oasis of colour and fragrance.  The pitches were set amongst fragrant trees and flowering shrubs, so the birdlife was quite exotic with plenty of Serins singing from the tops of Palms, the Hoopoo scratching around in the sand under pine trees and a variety of other birds flitting in and out of the low hedges to taunt me.

This particularly confiding Sardinian Warbler was very obliging.
