It was released in the Llobregat Delta with 19 other birds
I think the number, according to Ferran at Llobregat was 20 (12 males and 8 females).
What's the difference?

Iben, thats a very good point. Consider my wrist slapped.
Hi John
Thanks for your message. There are plenty of small hotels and rural cottages in the area, both in the delta itself and in the surrounding towns and villages. You are welcome to contact me for further recommendations if you are interested in visiting.
Best wishes,
Iben
Iben, thanks for these wonderful posts; we are all very jealous as to where you live....are there any bed and breakfasts rooms near you????
John.
Hi Iben, I am making plans for the Ebro in May. Any accommodation contacts would be welcome. John.
Bad news for the Ebro Delta. It appears that the water transfer scheme hasn't gone away.
Can you tell us more about the situation with the hunters, the demonstration, etc?
Hang on to the crakes Iben. I'll be there 27th April in the hide. Tie them up if need be!
Two male Little Crakes were found today in the lagoon
Have I missed the show for another year?
I'll be visitng the Ebro Delta in July and cant wait, sounds like a great area!
Hi Alan
I do not know of any recent sightings of the Little Crakes, but they might still be present. Yesterday, Laurent (volunteer at Riet Vell) saw a crake in the lagoon, but the view was very brief and it could have been any of the two smaller species, he said. When forced to hazard a guess, he said it might have been a female Little Crake. Anyway, while you're there waiting for the crakes to show up, the other birds in the lagoon will keep you well entertained. Flamingo, Grey and Purple Heron, Glossy Ibis, Little Bittern, Purple Gallinule, Audouin's Gull, Whiskered Tern, Black-winged Stilt, Common Snipe, Collared Pratincole, Yellow Wagtail, Moustached Warbler, and many more, are usually present there these days
The flooding of the rice fields was initiated yesterday, and so far just the corners of the fields have received water. The mud is already attracting flocks of gulls, herons, and shorebirds, and next week will be even better! I am really looking forward to seeing the delta flooded again, it is just so much more beautiful than during the dry months!
Best regards,
Iben
That's good news Iben
