It was time well spent. When is the last time you saw an olive tree on the loose?

That wasn’t this train though. That one’s still in the future, at Portbou.

We were unimpressed with your train adventure to simplify getting from France to Spain. Let's hope our Ebro Delta Birding Adventure is easier.

We seem to mainly be seeing nonbreeding black headed gulls. What we really want are some terms. Maybe tomorrow?

I’m envious. We wanted to stay at the Ebro delta on our way from Bilbao to Valencia last fall but had to simplify the tour because of my arrhythmia issues.

We appreciate birds that like to sit still and be admired.

I don’t think so. I think they’re all black headed gulls.

Haha. A lot of work goes into those walls. They seem to stretch out forever.

Yup. They’re like black redstarts - a little bold and like to perch in prominent spots so you can get a good look at them.

That’s how they keep the trees in their place. Easier than branding them.

These still surprise me too. I saw one just like this yesterday and was sure it was something new. Nice shot!

Maybe boab trees?

La Tomatina seems to be near Valencia, so one could come and then go South, never reaching Tarragona. That said, the tomato fight idea did not seem to win favor here with us. Interestingly the tomatoes are said in the article to come from Extremadura, not Almeria.
