Here are a few more pics I think are worthy of sharing. In most of these pics I was struggling with good lighting as it stayed overcast for most of the day. These Greater Flamingos were having a go at each other. This one in its breeding plumage.
Image
Here is a Ruddy Turnstone coming in to land. What a name for such a beautiful bird. Sure you would agree.
Image
Here is the obligatory Egyptian Goose on a flyby.
Image
Another bird that is now in it's breeding colors are the Grey Plovers. now not so Grey anymore.
Image
Lastly this Grey Heron who chose to come in on the wrong side of the setting sun.

Yes Tuareg really has a magic finger! He took the pictures with a Canon EOS 7D.
