Alphabetical list

Finally I managed to photograph several species of weavers while in South Africa. This text is common to all them except the long-tailed widowbird and the grosbeak weaver. Encounters with the two species were so interesting, different from those with the other weavers, it had to be reflected in information in separate texts. These birds could be observed and photographed in such large number, because the number of their species and the abundance of individuals there in South Africa is shocking.

This is the first crustacean representative on my site. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if the Polish name for this crab is correct, or if it's simply a translation from English. In one place in Mexico, on the island of Contoy they were common. People passing by would cause the crabs to disappear into nearby bushes for a brief moment. However, a short while later, after the people had moved away, they would return by the dozens to their feeding sites.

And again there was no time for capturing this bird in Poland, where it is really rare. In the Netherlands, on the contrary, it occurs commonly there, like a rook or a jackdaw in Poland. I posted a photo of a flock of carrion crows preying on a road, not really afraid of a biker that was coming up. All images were taken by the way, during the journey between a hotel and the place of shooting baillon’s crake and pied avocets. For example, the picture with a cyclist from the place where bluethroats occur.

When it comes to its size, the Caspian Gull is similar to the Yellow-legged Gull. Its weight is about 1,5 kilograms and its wingspan is about 1,5 metre. The creation of this gallery was possible only to that fact that I documented its flight just in front of my camera. The distance was sufficient. It inhabits the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea and Kazakhstan.
