Enjoying these last days around traditional transhumance 🐄, birdwatching 🔭, and the best sunsets 🌅, all in or near my hometown 💚. Luckily, in the Trebujena marshes, we spotted Marbled Teal 🦆, one of the most threatened ducks in Europe: a reminder of the need for conservation to protect biodiversity!
