Mt Arapiles (Djurid), Victoria. I spent a week photographing and climbing in Australia’s premier climbing destination. I was enchanted by the striking landscape, the vibrant camp culture, and the incredible climbs.

Creo que los pájaros migrantes más raros (sin ser rarezas) con que me he cruzado en Madrid fueron sendos ejemplares de ¡triguero! y ¡¡mirlo capiblanco!! o_O que encontré, muertos los pobres, en alcorques de la calle; cuando aún vivía por Arapiles.
Al migrar las aves pueden aparecer en sitios donde normalmente no se las ve; baste como ejemplo los papamoscas que nos inundan estos días. Pero a veces uno se encuentra también cosas que, sin ser raras, resultan más estimulantes, como este alcotán europeo (Falco subbuteo) de hace unos años 😊
