Durante mi viaje a Cuba he tenido la oportunidad de fotografiar al Fraile mientras realizaba una caminata de 4 kilómetros para llegar hasta Cayo Buba. En un determinado punto del trayecto fuí observando que la arena de la playa daba lugar a restos triturados de caracoles que cubrían toda la superficie de la playa y […]
Choca corona rojiza (Rufous-capped antshrike) Thamnophilus ruficapillus
El 13 de Abril pasado fuimos con Roby a pajarear unas horas temprano a la mañana a la desembocadura del Arroyo Apepú en Nemesio Parma, la entrada habitual a este pastizal no existe mas porque vaya a saber por cual motivo el sector por el que antes ingresábamos hoy se encuentra todo alambrado. Si bien […]
The Great spotted woodpecker family
Last Tuesday morning, the weather was drab and this is probably why the birds were more active than when it is warm and sunny, in which case they remain more readily in the woods. La famille Pic épeiche: Le temps sombre limite pluie mardi matin a probablement favoriser l’activité des pics: en cas de chaleur […]

Pelícano pardo (Brown Pelican) Pelecanus occidentalis
Durante mi viaje a Cuba tuve la suerte de poder observar y fotografiar durante todos los días que estuve en Varadero al Pelícano pardo, una de las aves que tenía ganas de conocer y no me defraudó para nada. Lo podía ver todos los días sobrevolando el mar y en ocasiones zonas aledañas demostrando toda […]
Steppe Eagles – Tanoumah to Abha road
Whilst in the southwest of the Kingdom in April, Phil Roberts and I came across a group of eight mainly second calendar year Steppe Eagles. The birds appeared to be migrating along the escarpment edge. It is diffuclt to know if these birds were wintering birds from the region moving north or birds from Africa […]
