Eurasian Magpie running with a wasp in it's beak. The Magpie has it's tail up showing a bright green in it's tail feathers. The whole landscape is dry and brown, typical of summer time in Central Spain.

It was a treat! To see the Great Bustard (Otis tarda)in Bratislava recently.

At first backlit and far away, the air haze was too high. Then one flew right towards us.

A lifer. My #977th #birds species as I work towards a 1000! Kid me is so excited! :D

Conservation status: Endangered

Having a patient who is Colombian really motivates me to go back to some of my photos from my March trip!

Hummingbirds in Colombia not only have iridescent gorgets. They also have iridescent tails 🤯
