☔☔☔☔
The Coastal wetlands at the Clot de Galvany are really thriving especially as there has been two weeks of continuous rain. I have posted about this vale several times before but it is a place that is ever changing. I can take photos of the ponds time and time again and they would all be different.
There are a number of pools there and they are full to the brim thanks to the rain which has been so constant recently. This wetland has a number of pools and it is all connected to the dunes and pine forests of El Carabassí beach.
It was drizzling when we entered the vale so there weren't many people around. The Alicantinos run for cover as soon as it starts to drizzle. Personally we like a walk in the rain as the air is fresher and cleaner and the smell of the rain and the scent from the plants and the wet earth makes us feel good. They even say walking regularly in the rain helps one burn calories!! I really like that idea even if it may be just a myth 😀
There's no blue sky today as it is very cloudy but it is good to see everything so green and the wild fowl on the ponds are having a field day celebrating it quite vocally.🦆
I don't know what breed of wild fowl these are but they were very busy beeping away at each other as they dug up worms or insects from the damp earth. I say beeping because that is what it sounded like not a clucking or chirping but a sort of beeping.
"Here's one Fred beep,beep!" "I found a bigger one ... beep,beep... Tom" "Beep... clear off Charlie ... this is ...beep ... my patch" 🐛
It didn't bother them at all that we stood watching!
It was lovely even though there were no blue skies. Just the sounds of the pitter patter of the rain ,the calls of the wild fowl and an occasionally a bark as someone we hadn't seen was walking their dogs
A short walk but very invigorating.
The Yarn Fairy attacks!
I really didn't mean to you know it was all that Yarn Fairy's fault sprinklinging her magic dust around
and I needed these colours.....
