BIRDING TRIP: Torrox Lagoon, Jerez de la Frontera, Spain

A routine walk around one of my favourite lagoons in the province of Cádiz, with hopes of catching a glimpse of the nuptial display of the Great Crested Grebes. I did see those graceful birds, but was not able to take any extraordinary pictures this time. I was more impressed by some Blackcaps that were feeding on some berries along the track.

Cormorants fighting over a fish always make for spectacular photos.

Note the amazing pattern on this Spoonbill's beak
