On the second day we go to the north coast of the delta in search of gulls, terns and waders. In addition to flamingos we see the slender-billed gull, a species that we do not see in the Netherlands. Our walk along the Ebro yields a nesting peacock tit, but the path to get there was not really suitable for people with a walking stick. The rest of the day we see what we can find at the wet fields, puddles and salt marshes.
