Majorca, 24th March, back to s'Albufera

Alan wanted to go back to the marsh area of s'Albufera. This time it was sunny and warmer. The swallows and swifts were swooping over the reeds and we were entertained by the croaks of the frogs. There were raptors in the distance, but we did not see anything unusual apart from a rather large and ugly purple swamp hen which retreated before I could train my lens on it. I amused myself taking multiple exposures while listening to the frogs. The reserve is close to the largest power station on the island which rises, pale beside the lake. After we left the marsh we crossed the road outside the reserve and walked down to the coast at Alcúdia. The sea looked quite rough and choppy.
