I finally gave in today and drove down to Thursley Common in Surrey to spend some time with the returning Cuckoo that’s taken a liking to having his diet supplemented by the locals. The merits of feeding it I’ll leave for others to debate but although I took no food with me there was a […]
Reinita Coronicastaña (Palm Warbler) Setophaga palmarum
En esta entrada les presento a uno de los pajaritos mas abundantes que pude observar y fotografiar en el Memories Varadero beach resort, allí fue el lugar en el que nos hospedamos para la estadía durante las vacaciones familiares a inicio de este año. En todo el parquizado del hotel este arañero estaba prácticamente en […]
Gaviota Reidora Americana (Laughing Gull) Leucophaeus atricilla
Durante mi viaje a Cuba y en los días de estadía en Varadero he podido conocer y fotografiar a esta Gaviota, creo que junto al Chichinguaco, fueron las primeras aves que ví cuando salí de la pieza del hotel para irme a desayunar. Ya en la playa estas gaviotas hacían de las suyas, muy audaces […]

Today was mainly a driving day 570km south from Ulaanbaatar to Dalanzadgad passing through the Gobi Desert with a few stops, mainly at lakes, en-route.

Lavandera (White-headed marsh-Tyrant) Arundinicola leucocephala
