Thanks. Before I retired I used to walk to work along this stretch of the river every morning. The sunrises were spectacular.

The El Abra Bay seen from the sea front in Getxo this morning, with the water stained chocolate brown from all the mud washed down the river after this week's heavy rain.

Damn right they move fast. If I get 1 decent pic from 20 attempts I count myself lucky. The only ones I’ve seen stay still more than a couple of seconds were these 2, which were shaping up for a fight & too intent on each other to zoom about.

Además son muy listos. Los he visto coger caracoles en el pico y dejarlos caer desde el aire para romperles la concha y así poder comerlos.
Pude fotografiar este bellezón en Trujillo el mes pasado.
