Nightingale and woodchat shrikes in Extremadura, Spain

After 13 April 2016 in Extremadura, Spain came 14 April. In the morning, this azure-winged magpie near Jaraicejo.

Barn swallows collect mud for their nests.

A black kite flying. Hoopoe and bee-eater calling. Typical Extremadura birds.

A corn bunting on another branch.

And a woodchat shrike on yet another branch.

In the afternoon, a walk around Jaraicejo. A crested lark.

A nightingale sings beautifully.

A cuckoo calls. A goldfinch on a branch.

Cork oaks.

Butterflies, including small heath.

Again, a woodchat shrike.

And, again, cork oaks.

We saw Jaraicejo village.

In a hole in a village wall, a domestic pigeon rested.

In the lakelet near the village, a little grebe swimming. Two cattle egrets on the bank.
