Fan-tailed warbler (Cisticola juncidis), s'Albufera Natural Park, Mallorca, December 2017.
Taken with my Nikon D5300 and 70-300mm AF-S at 300mm, f/6.3, ISO 400, 1/1600s.
This photo was taken on a five-day visit to Mallorca specifically to go birdwatching in s'Albufera. It was very clearly off season: most of the hotels were closed, a few had the builders in, and one appeared to have an occupancy of 4 people and a capacity of about 1000. The supermarkets, bars, and restaurants were also largely closed. But there were still plenty of birds around, so for me it was a good trip.
