hello everyone
I' ve spent a week in Estremadura-Spain. from April 25th to May 1st, with a tour organized by Skua Nature ( http://www.skuanature.com/skua_nature/SKUA_NATURE.html)
The total checklist of bird species contacted during the tour is 144, and I' ve taken pictures of more than 80 species
Here you can find two shots of war among Western Marsh Harrier and Black kite for a frog

    Great pics. Fights over food or territory often results in injury to one or both of the combatants. Fine job......thumb.gif

    Those are great captures Carlo! It sounds like you had a good time with lots of birds. It is a fantastic area. isn't it? Getting pictures of 80 species is quite an accomplishment and if they are anything like these you have done very well!

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
