We thought we’d take a look at the "big one" on the first full day, so with an earlish start we headed for El Rocio, the centre of the Donana reserve.
If you know the Donana 
reserve you will no doubt have knowledge of or visited the best birding restaurant in the world, it’s just outside El Rocio and is situated on the edge of the lagoon. On arrival we immediately saw Spoonbill, Whiskered Tern, Black Tern, Flamingo, Black-winged Stilt, Red-crested Pochard more Black Kites and a Red Kite.
After lunch we took a drive up to one of the wooded reserve area along an inland marsh, here we saw an Azure-winged Magpie frenzy, with about ten birds picking at the leftovers from a school trip lunch. On the marsh side there were Stonechats, Iberian Yellow Wagtail and Great Reed Warbler.
En-route home we had a good view of a Golden Oriole and Raven.
