I had the opportunity to observe Egyptian vultures on Fuerteventura, but from a significant distance, which made it impossible for me to take even a documentary picture. The birds did not come to our hide. We had to move to another place in order to see them. A few hours of driving across the beautiful Turkey, and a few photo breaks on the way of course, were abundant with pictures of, inter alia, the western rock nuthatch. Early the next morning we went to a place where we managed to take first pictures.

The last of the falcons included in the fauna of Poland is finally making its way into my gallery, and not just with documentary photos of its contents. Eleonora's Falcons may not be a very rare species, but they are found on rocky cliffs, so it is difficult to get good photos that require to reduce distance to the birds. They occur during the breeding season almost all over the Mediterranean. I managed to observe and photograph them in Italy. The falcons nesting site is truly breathtaking.

As in case of hummingbirds, the text linked to toucans describing those taken on the trip to Costa Rica will be common for them all. Also with this group of birds fate turned out to be favorable in terms of pictures as I was able to photograph 4 of 7 species of toucans that occur there in Costa Rica. As usual the result was at different level of success. It happened twice that collared aracari and black-mandibled toucan approached so close to the place where food was laid that to adjust them in the frame in the whole I had to back a few meters away.

Hummingbirds-text common to species photographed in Ecuador

We were driving through the bush at a temperature above 30°C, a few hundred kilometers from Tonsville, suddenly two large figures appeared on the right side of the car. Theese were two huge birds - emus. We stopped the car, and emu, like bustards, initially watched calmly, then began to move away slowly. I was never afraid of birds, but this time following them I doubted for a moment. When I approached the emus suddenly one of them stopped and I wondered if  our places would be exchanged. Maybe their young were somewhere around and caring father would not like me.
