Corrales de Montijo - Oystercatcher and Whimbrel
September 15-19 2014
Dear reader!
Vehemently the strong westwind rose the waves at the "Corrales de Montijo", which the Oysterfishers seemed to appreciate, because …
… they played with the wind and let resound their penetraiting calls:
"Still all rocks are awashed! Only, where is it possible to land?"
At long last everybody found its place, also …
… when he had therefore to …
… chase, rather perky, away a Whimbrel:
Our beautiful Whimbrel had to look for a new territory and …
… soon strutted with his head raised through the wading area:
These, at low tide, released rocks exerted a magical attraction for these birds, because …
… there one can easily find delicious crabs:
"Just a moment! I discovered one!"
"My long beak is just terrific for that, so I don't have to make my head wet!"
And really, our beautiful feathered friend had caught a crab:
Again and again he was successful:
And alike to make a special joy for me, he then flew past close to me! Such an elegant chap! 
"Bye for now, Sanlúcar with all you beautiful beaches, salines, Corrales and … terrific restaurants! 
Best regards
