Haliaeetus Albicilla

Haliaeetus Albicilla, the White Tailed Eagle, is a rare bird, but it can still be seen in the Danube Delta. I have seen one this year, while turning back to Tulcea from Sulina.

This is not my video, but is really nice:

Ardea Cinerea

The Grey Heron

Here is a Grey Heron (Ardea Cinerea) that I spot in Skansen, Stockholm. The funny thing is that , even if Skansen is an open air museum and Zoo, the heron was just hanging around, not being in the zoo but in totally freedom. Maybe looking for some food.

The amazing intelligence of crows

Joshua Klein is fascinated by crows. What he proposes is : instead of exterminating the species, let's try to find ways to co-operate with them, for a mutual benefit.

Turtle

I spot this turtle in Dobroesti, near Bucharest !

Singing House Sparrow

Among the famouse birdwatching places in Europe there is the Danube Delta, but you can spot interesting birds also in the urban areas. In the courtyard in Ploiesti I shot this image of a singing house sparrow (passer domesticus):

Passer Domesticus

yet another house sparrow, a female this time:

Here is another house sparrow (passer domesticus) I spot in the courtyard in Ploiesti



As for many other secies the male has more vivid colors, while the female needs to protect better, itself and the eggs.

House Sparrows

The house sparrow (passer domesticus) is maybe the most common bird in Romania. You can see it everywhere, on the street in the big cities, in the fields or even in the mountains.

I shot this passer domesticus yesterday (may, 1st, 2008) in Ploiesti, 60 km north from Bucharest.
