One half of a pair of Black-winged Stilts on a small freshwater pool at the S’Albufereta Nature Reserve near Pollenca, Mallorca. This image was taken early in the morning, with the light from the sun just catching the calm pool.

The Serra de Tramuntana is a spectacular ridge of mountains running along the length of Mallorca's west coast. It's been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO under the Cultural Landscape category, reflecting what a special place it is. This image was taken from the northern end of the ridge, near the Cap de Formentor, looking back at layers of jagged ridges backlit by the setting sun.

A poor quality capture (at distance and through the heat haze) of the somewhat unusual moment when a Greater Flamingo apparently mobbed an Osprey that was otherwise contentedly eating a large fish it had caught and brought back to a man-made perch. Image taken at the excellent s'Albufera de Mallorca reserve.
