8 april: de steppen rondom Trujillo

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

The first full birding day we spend on the steppes looking for the small and large bustards of the Spanish Imperial Eagle. We mainly learn that the stairs are located at a great distance from the road. You need a telephoto lens or better yet a scope to see the bird spot. For me it does not yet produce any useful photos of stairs, but it does yield photos of a Spanish Imperial Eagle and a blue magpie. Smaller birds sometimes cooperate better, as the photos show.
