Una bellÃsima especie (en este caso el macho), cuya fotografÃa tomé en Puerto Iguazú, Misiones, cerca del Parque Nacional Iguazú. Cómo en todas mis fotos en modalidad “cacerÃa”.

Red-crested Pochard | Netta rufina
Although a fairly common bird in western Asia and Europe, the Red-crested Pochard is a very rare but annual visitor to Japan in winter. This female was discovered at a dam in Nagasaki, along with lots of Common Pochard, Tufted Duck, Mandarin Duck, Eurasian Teal and Common Coot. There is also a single Baer’s Pochard […]
American Kestrel with Lunch
This past Saturday at Merritt Island NWR I found an American Kestrel perched on the top of a tree eating his lunch. This Kestrel was in almost the same place where I had seen a Merlin eating a Ruddy Turnstone a couple weeks ago. Usually, these little falcons fly off when I approach, even when […]

There are fewer than two-hundred and fifty adults left here and less than two hundred other adults found in a few scattered […]
Picaflor de barbijo (Blue-tufted Starthroat)

Five wheatears but not the right one
Last Friday, I went to “the edge of the world”. This is the name given to the Tuwaiq Escarpment and the land directly below it, west of Riyadh. Its quite popular for day tripping locals and expats who drive out on the Mecca road westward. They indulge in walks and many other outdoor activities such […]
Common Buzzard
Buteo buteo – Accipitridae – Accipitriformes – Buse variable I am wondering if the underparts’ white patches remain the same after each moult or does the pattern change somewhat? I have realised that the converter slows down somewhat the focusing speed, but I am quite happy to have succeed to achieve a decent pic here:
