Although I'll write it then and has been telling on countless occasions, I can not pass the opportunity to do record once again, to use his time as an introduction to -to me-amazing event that I have lived only a few dates back. Well ...
Top Birding is a unique and fascinating. This is not new to those readers familiar with the matter, is obvious, but change the focus. Usually those outside this world all surrounding the ornithology look with amazement as your neighbor, relative or acquaintance lover of feathered species living the most amazing-and often incomprehensible-adventures. Early mornings on cold winter mornings to station themselves at the foot of a frozen lake, taking a census full days hundreds of shorebirds in intertidal under intense orballo, watching seabirds under showers of salt shipped to several miles from the coast, crushing the neck for hours more hours in a marine out as thousands of birds migrate before their eyes or ascending to a steep cirque under a blazing sun one morning in July. Many have lived their
circumstances, or similar.
But perhaps the sumun of extravagance in the modern ornithology carried by twitchers.
But what is a twitcher?. Well, that person could be defined as bird lover seeking to register the largest possible number of species observed. And if they are rare, the better.
To do not hesitate to travel hundreds of miles to spot a bird that has been found hours earlier by a local birder. Let alone express travel with low cost flight included, to any country not far (2-3 hours) for "Bimbo" (Ie, recording) the specialties. And perhaps longer voyages were to be categorized with another noun.
I must admit that from time to time, I love myself immersed in one of these adventures, usually shipped with my friend Ricardo Hevia.
An example of this was that February afternoon in which a Dutch ornithologists discovered a Ross gull ( Rhodostethia rosea) in Alcazar de San Juan, Ciudad Real. It was the second to be observed in Spain ... A boat soon doubt the veracity of the quote, but photographs published at 22:00 left no room for doubt. Well, at 23:00 pm we set off, arriving at 07:00 am at the Veguilla castellanomanchego wetland.
Crazy, yes, but we saw.
That said, I also recognize that I had never seen a frame of mind as I have been living between last week and this.
Who has featured a rarity in the house of his in-laws? And I say more: who has been featured a rarity in the political family home after staying in the same house over 40 years?. Incredible, but true.
The thing is given-of course-of-factly.
My wife, Mabel, had told me a few dates back in his family kept "a bird " stuffed animal, it seems, had gone live on one of the windows of the home years ago, there by the dawn of the 70's. Dates after the comment, and sifting through old family photographs, Mabel said "ah, look, this is the bird!". I could see in the image in the background, a small stuffed bird on a TV.
I was amazed. He stood before a rarity that I expected much less find. Yesterday I went to photograph the bird - which already showed a notable and understandable state of disrepair, "getting these snapshots:
Right Side of the bird.

What kind is it?. As an Anglo might say that this is a Corncrake. In our country, the caller will Corncrake (Crex crex ).
And you Guess what?.
