Parc Natural dels Aiguamolls de l'Empordą

Not the appropiate lenses for this capture but I loved the experience.

The Aiguamolls de l'Empordą Natural Park is the second most important wetland area in Catalonia, after the Delta de L“Ebre.In the past these marshes covered the whole area of the plains of the Roses bay and the Baix Ter, so that the Montgrķ massif, between l'Escala and Torroella -delimiting the Alt and Baix Empordą-, stood out like an island in the middle of the waters.Until the seventies of the last century, the marshes had deteriorated considerably: the wetland areas of the Ampordą were disappearing due to the over urbanisation and creation of all sorts of tourism facilities. Therefore, in 1976 a popular campaign was started that, under the slogan of "Els śltims Aiguamolls de l'Empordą, en perill", fought to recover these areas. There was such popular pressure that on 28 October 1985 the Generalitat de Catalunya declared it an Area of National Interest, and a year and a half later, on 13 June 1985, declared it a Natural Park.

I've been 2-3 times there and it's a nice place for walking and animals photography.
Nice capture. V.

Un instant de chasse pour ce héron. C’est joliment saisi.
