Roman bridge over the River Guadalquivir, Cordoba, Spain
This bridge is just below the Mezquita in the heart of old Cordoba.
The river Guadalquivir runs down to Seville and then on to the Atlantic.
It was an important waterway in Roman and Islamic times. The ruins of mills are still visible on its banks near the bridge.
Today it is a haven for wildlife. From the bridge I saw egrets, herons, ducks, shags and cormorants.
In the bottom right corner of this picture you can see a shag spreading his wings to dry them in the last rays of the afternoon sun.
