When in Ibiza .... go birding - with the OM-1 and Olympus 300F4PRO

A while ago just before spring we took a small break to go to Ibiza, just before all touristy stuff would break loose. Well that was the truth as not much was yet open. However it was very nice to visit the island and explore. The idea was to capture some birds on the main Island and to explore Formentera just below of Ibiza. That should have many birds and even flamingos.

Well not all was true, but we did encounter flamingos only not on Formentera but at the famous Las Salinas, at Observatori d'Ocells Aquàtics to be exact. A very cool place with the one birds that was high on my list the Black-winged Stilt (Steltkluut).

The most beautiful part of the island was the north, west and south along that line. The east where all the parties are and the main city is, well, not so nice. Anyway I will spare you the details and just share a bunch of photos, ranging from landscape to birds.

All in all there you go, all photos with the OM-1 and several lenses, the birding was mainly done with the Olympus 300PRO and 2.0TC. Let me know what you think and don’t hesitate to leave a comment or an e-mail. Click to view larger in a light box and navigate with mouse or arrow keys. Enjoy!
