The farewell was very special. Among many of the sightings made during the course, the highlight was the sighting of an Eurasian Bittern (Botaurus stellaris), it is a very interesting species because of its shortage and rarity and for the difficulty that entails to see it due to its habits and techniques of camouflage that make it go unnoticed in our wetlands.
