The Maspalomas stream has formed a pond for a beach stroll. East of the stream is the large Maspalomas beach, to the west there are many hotels and shops. For me, the stream was the most fun to photograph the birds. It is right next to a busy road with many pedestrians, but the birds know that the fishing is good there. I can take nice pictures of the "tame" birds, including the Purple Heron (Ardea purpurea) and the Little Egret (Egretta garzetta).
