good afternoon. :hi:
you have to excuse me, I got confused in the names, the first three videos are "Azor" (Accipiter gentilis)
the last video is "Alcotan" :blush:
I just sent this video montage of several days of stalking the "Alcotan" (Falco subbuteo)
thank you all.

A (juvenile?) blue tit decided to visit my scullery room this morning. He was probably attracted to the spider's web which he could reach through the open window, and thought he could find a nice snack there:

After opening the door he flew out again and is now flying in the garden.

good morning. :hi:

yesterday Jordi was waiting to photograph the Bonelli eagle 8 hours in the hide, had no luck and could only photograph this female hawk, next week I will return to try, keep in mind that we only have five breeding pairs in Catalonia and it is difficult to see :nod:

I also leave this picture of "Mosquitero bilistado" (Phylloscopus inornatus) a very difficult bird to locate an over here,was ringed last week near the coast :nod:
