Two white-rumped whimbrels, trying to get some sleep in the beach of El Médano, Tenerife just as the sun has gotten down
Summary[edit]
| Description |
Español: La localización en la cual la foto fue tomada es la playa de El Médano, Tenerife, España. La fotografía fue tomada en una zona de la playa en la que se encuentra un pequeño lago salino que se forma gracias a la subida de las mareas. Dicho lago, está protegido por distintas dunas de arena por todo su alrededor, protegiéndolo del frío y el viento, de ahí que fuese refugio de aves, siendo incluso delimitado para el acceso humano por ser un "santuario de aves". La cuestión es que, con el paso del tiempo, la gente respeta cada vez menos estas medidas de seguridad para asegurar el correcto descanso de las aves, llegando a haber visto con mis propios ojos gente practicando voleibol en esta zona. Esto lleva a las aves a cambiar de refugio o abandonar totalmente la zona, lo que para nosotros los que disfrutamos de la naturaleza e intentamos respetarla, no es de gran ayuda. Es esto lo que intento reflejar con esta imagen en la cual, en ese instante, solo habían estas dos aves en todo el lago: que por favor se respeten las normas de convivencia tanto humana como animal para preservar lo más posible ecosistemas tan bellos como los de la playa de El Médano, en la cual se goza cada vez menos de diversidad animal tanto por encima como por debajo del agua.
English: The location where the photo was taken is the beach of El Medano, Tenerife, Spain. The photo was taken in an area of the beach where there is a small salt lake formed by the rising tides. This little lake is surrounded by several sand dunes, protecting it from the cold and wind, hence it was a refuge for birds, being even delimited for human access because it being a "bird sanctuary". The matter is that, as time passes, people respect less and less these security measures to ensure the proper rest of the birds, even having seen with my own eyes people practicing volleyball in this area. This leads the birds to change their shelter or leave the area completely, which for those of us who enjoy nature and try to respect it, is not very helpful. This is what I try to criticise with this image in which, at that moment, there were only these two birds in the whole lake: please respect the rules of cohabitation with both humans and animals to preserve as much as possible such beautiful ecosystems as the one that is the beach of El Medano, in which animal diversity is being destroyed, both above and below the water.
