Slaty Finch eating Bamboo

Hello hello... almost Christmas..

I took this video when it was still rainy season, about 3 weeks ago. The bamboo has seeds and so the Slaty Seedeaters, peg billed Finches were present! Always nice to hear their song again. Such nice birds.

Summer has started again a week ago, wind from the north, drizzle rain (bajareque) high in the mountains and an occasional gust of drizzle on our farm, but also a lot of sun, which is really necessary after a very heavy long rainy season. Everything is growing and blooming and really so many birds around us, wonderful! I am going to make a resolution to breathe some more life into my blog... is that good English? :) Well, you know what I mean, there will be more stories in the new year, that is my good resolution for the new year. Today I did post a lot of videos on my youtube  channel, enjoy!

Happy holidays!

a bright-rumped Attila and a Treefrog

Hello hello, I try to post a bird story, it's been a while.

Since I am more active on my Instagram and You tube and

of course keeping up Facebook, my Whatsapp, E-bird and Inaturalist ..it is 

next to our work almost impossible:)

Anyway...today I had my day off and went to one of my"secret" places.

It was great today...no wind cloudy good birds on 500 meter altitude.

My spot has jungle and meadows, scattered trees and a very special micro climate.

I come there already ...I think around 20 years, did change a bit..because a citrus farmer 

bought an old orange tree farm and did plant new orange trees. 

But still the forest is there and meadows  from a big dairy farm.

While I was birding, a bright-rumped Attila was catching a Treefrog and tried to kill it.

With succes. The video is a kind of interesting ...horror and well  a kind of beautiful too.

That is nature... Poor Frog, happy bird
