Santiargo de Compostela and A Coruña, Galicia.

A morning around the City of Santiago and an afternoon on the river at A Coruña.

Razorbill (Alca Común / Alca torda).

Jayne and I spent the morning around the city visiting the Cathedral and other land marks before heading of a short way north as it was yet again peeeeeeeeeeeeeing it down. 

Northern Gannet (Alcatraz Atlántico / Morus bassanus).

I dropped Jayne off at the shopping centre and headed out the nearby rio do Burgo where I spent a very nice three hours watching Great Northern Diver (Colimbo Grande / Gavia immer), Razorbill (Alca Común / Alca torda), Great Cormorant (Cormorán Grande / Phalacrocroax carbo), Shag (Cormorán Mondudo / Phalacrocorax aristotelis), Little Egrets (Garceta Común / Egreeta garzetta), Eurasian Oystercatcher (Ostrero Euroasiatico / Haematopus ostralegus) and Bar-tailed Godwit (Aguja Colipinta / Limosa lapponica) along the estuary.
