All these photos of the spotless starling were taken in Spain. Taking a break while exhausting being on the watch in the poultry lookouts (whole day) for the rest we were offered "easier" subjects. Kestrels and storks were supposed to be such species easier for shooting. On the high tower, probably some old granary, kestrels, storks and presented spotless starlings had their nests. There were several couples of starlings and they operated safely with a pair of kestrels side by side. Because that was supposed to be a day of rest, we got up a little later.

Well, not once have I thought of the Spotted Crake and the Little Crake. I have had many attempts . Unfortunately , it is not as common as the Water Rail  and as for me, it is difficult to photograph. This time, an hour before dawn, on the wet meadow where I thought I'd see Ruffs, the Common Redshank, the Wood Sandpiper and who knows what else would have appeared in front of the lens. Unfortunately, the birds kept a large distance and to make matters worse the weather was bad . An hour after sunrise the light began to drizzle.

I managed to photograph the Spotted Flycatcher during one of my „escapades” in search of the European Green Woodpecker. On suburban territories, used to human presence, it allowed me to photograph it from a few-meter distance. The Flycatcher weighs about a dozen plus grams, with a wingspan not exceeding 25 cm. It is smaller than a sparrow and incomparably rarer in terms of its availability to be photographed. This gallery is far from perfection.

It took me long waiting for an opportunity to photograph a nutcracker. Here in Poland it is not so easy, especially when you do not have too much spare time, unless one goes to Tatra Mountains over Morskie Oko Lake. I have read on the Internet and other birdwatchers I am acquainted with informed me that there is the best place to watch nutcrackers. Also when on the way to Morskie Oko I was told that this bird could be observed there with no problem as in this area the population of nutcrackers  can be counted in hundreds of individuals.
