A couple of marsh harriers, Circus aeruginosus, in La Lantejuela Nature Reserve of southern Spain. This protected wetland, part of the Guadalquivir Depression, offers a vital habitat for migratory and resident birds, including the marsh harrier, which has rebounded from near extinction thanks to conservation efforts. Visitors to the reserve can witness these raptors soaring above the tranquil landscape, gliding low over reedbeds and lagoons, hunting small mammals, birds, and amphibians, a testament to successful ecological preservation. |
