Spain photos: 2007

Click on the small picture to see a larger, more detailed version. I toured several regions in Spain in May 2007. This page is devoted the the days in the Ebro Delta (May 17-19). The trip was wonderful and was led by Josele Saiz (Boletas Birdwatching Centre, Loporzano Spain, www.boletas.org) and Jan Hansen (dba Otus Asio Tours otusasiotours@bellsouth.net). Jan leads a variety of trips, all of which I would recommend.
