[Leica] BRD: Long time no birds

[lluisripollphotography]

Philippe,

Very nice shots!

Did you know we have close to the Barcelona Airport a Natural Reserve too? I went there once longtime ago to shoot some birds but I’ve always preferred shoot the “birds” (without wings but with other things)  we found in La Rambla…
