Azure-winged magpie and hoopoe in Extremadura, Spain, 12 April

This video is called Pictures of birds, during our holiday in Extremadura, Spain (23 April – 1 May 2011).

After 11 April 2016, came 12 April for us in Extremadura.

We went for a walk. A beautiful hoopoe sitting on an electric wire.

Unfortunately, like on many days, it then started to rain. Harder than yesterday. We had to go back.

Later, sometimes the rain stopped; making it possible to photograph birds on the holly oak trees. Like this male Spanish sparrow.

Or these azure-winged magpies.
