National Park "El Fondo"


Near Elche we discovered the lagunes of "El Fondo" or "El Hondo" - one name seams to be Valenciano ;-)

White spotted Bluethroat


The parking at this National Park is big and can be used to stay overnight: 38.187893, -0.791316

We took the long lenses out and went bird hunting.


Pentax K1 - 500mm - f8,0


Pentax K1 - 28mm - f2,8

There are observation points and different paths leading through the area.

Beside of common ducks we saw one Flamingo in the distance, one little bird which looked interesting (first picture) and a bird of prey which we couldn’t identify (below).

Kestrel or Cernícalo (span.)



I think I don’t have to tell you that we have no knowledge at all about birds. So if you can tell us which birds these are, we would be happy if you let us know.


Mallard or Pato Real (span.)



Coot



happy to hike







We managed to take a long route and walked for more than 3 hours.

also bird hunting?
