Got some sunflower hearts to share. Also watching vultures cruising around those rocks. In the prepyrenees in spain.

They look just like my sparrows in Oregon! But the real pic is those mountains! Amazing! Are you going up there? I bet you’ll see better birds than sparrows

I love sparrows, sadly they are no longer to be found in the part of the city where i live, only outside of town a bit where horses are etc.

I was trying my best to get the bird and the rocks without cutting them off, wasn't easy from the tent :) I was also not sure if i should rather post to the camping community, but i was so happy about the birds to come and visit me, it's been kinda lonely in the spanish mountains, haha.

I did not go up there, but i walked around the rocks a bit that were at the previous village that i had passed, Riglos, they are even crazier. They're really high, a climbers paradise. I am currently cycling through spain and just happened to pass these villages. The rocks in my picture are at a vilage called Agüero.

What a rad trip you’re on! I’m so jealous. Those pics are amazing

[–] AchtungDrempels@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I won't complain, it has been a great trip so far.

Wow, this looks super cozy! Have a nice trip with lots of interesting animals encounters.

Thank you. I hope to see some izard's in the coming weeks when i am in the proper pyrenees, a chamois that only lives there. I have already seen some iberian steinbocks. And all the birds of course.

I have not seen any izards yet, but..

Damn, this is too cute. (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠) It always makes me happy when animals seek my company.

[–] AchtungDrempels@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Oh yes, totally. Those were some nice wishes you sent my way!
