Pues tengo una serie que son mejores, creo que es la misma familia que esta haciendo un nido en el arbol de glicina. Luego las pondre. En la otra serie el animalillo se quedo cantando un rato encima de mi cabeza en la rama del arbol y ahi si saque varias :-)
Que graciosa! Yo creo que solo he podido hacer una foto decente de una curruca, y era una cabecinegra, las demás se me escapan y se esconden... es una relación de amor-odio, je je
Beautiful bird!
