L'Estany d'Ivars, Vilasana

Last Thursday (8th August) we went to this beautiful lake. It was another hot day but we enjoyed it immensely. The path around the lake is about two and a half kilometres and every so often there are watchtowers so that one can see the fauna and the view without being a bother. There was also a prepared picnic place where we ate our sandwiches, with views across the lake.

These are just some of the birds we saw:

Bee eater

Red heron

Little grebe

Storks

Crested grebe

White heron

Black-winged stilt

Western marsh harrier

All of the bird photographs are taken from Google images. The photos are as we saw the birds. I took my camera with me but we focused on watching them with binoculars. It was so beautiful.
