Hummingbirds-text common to species photographed in Ecuador

Well, I didn’t succeed. Making preparations for the trip to Malta I read about birds which occur on the island and watched hundreds of photographs on the Internet. I must admit that apart from the blue rock thrush I wanted to take some pictures of the Sardinian warbler. The black plumage of its head and the red rim around its eye, makes it a charming bird. Although the Sardinian warbler is quite a common bird on Malta and despite of the fact I saw it several times, it was difficult for me to take a picture of it.

Locating Savi's Warbler  was not a problem. If it inhabits a given area, her voice resonates loudly and annoyingly in the surroundings, I'd say, and it's hard to mistake it for a different voice coming from the reeds. Passing along the shore of the lake, along the edge of the forest on the stretch over a kilometer, I localized only one place where the Savi's Warbler wasn found. Of course, it was in a place that was most difficult to access. First, you had to walk several meters of the densely wooded edge of the forest and its bushes.

They are tiny for tortoises, as the females are below 30 centimeters long. Males are much smaller. I photographed turtles in Townsville, in every place where there was some water. So, there shouldn't be problems with creating a new gallery, but the jaunt was for the tortoise, not for the reptile... They are very common and tamed to such an extent that when I was crossing a bridge in the park, the turtles, like ducks, would gather in flocks, expecting to be fed.
