You are very welcome, macdoum, with pleasure!

And here another short report from the homey biotope, because I again distributed feathers …



… and those enjoy great popularity, as you can read here:

Fun with feathers

Please find here a few photos made last Sunday in the homey biotope



Finally I saw the Oriole, which I always hear in the garden, and three Honey Buzzards crossing the biotope on their flight to North!

Please find the short report here:

A morning in the homey biotope - Oriole, Honey buzzards and Green Frogs

Once more....thank you.

Birgit is still around, - but the heat doesn’t make her move too much, since 2,5 month around 40°C is also not the usual for Spain.

Since a few weeks Birgit already can hear nearly daily flocks of Bee-eaters on their migration to the South. Their calls always seemed to be far away, because they were flying high up. But this morning it was a different story and Birgit was lucky enough that a flock of Bee-eaters took a break in her homey biotope for about 30 minutes. What a fantastic experience!



Here the short report:
