Mallorca in springtime!

We visited the beautiful national parks of Mallorca before, but never in springtime. So this was a new experience in the first week of March ‘20.

It feels extra special since we now know, that at the moment (hopefully not for a very long time) it’s impossible and not wise to travel to Spain or France…..

But anyway, we were lucky to enjoy the diversity of orchids and flowers and the first butterflies of the season like the green Hairstreak, the Swallowtail and the Wall. Especially in s’Albufera Natural Park we were treated to many water birds and birds of prey.

In my pictures I tried to capture birds in action and in the wind, the never ending beauty of water & light and the nice and the quiet park itself. 
We cherish the beautiful memory and feeling!
