Caught in the Act - A Spanish Surprise!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a truly extraordinary encounter. Meet the Common Waxbill, an African alien who has found its way to Extremadura, Spain. This adult passerine finch is not your typical European bird; it stands out with its vibrant colors and exotic charm. Perched gracefully on a stem against the backdrop of a warm September day, this waxbill seems right at home in its newfound Iberian habitat. Its presence adds an unexpected twist to the already diverse wildlife of Spain. As summer fades away, so does any doubt about this little adventurer's resilience. It proves that boundaries are meant to be challenged and species introductions can lead to fascinating encounters like these. With its striking plumage and melodious song, our feathered friend brings joy to both locals and visitors alike. Its unique presence reminds us that nature always finds a way to surprise us – even when we least expect it! So next time you find yourself exploring Extremadura's breathtaking landscapes or simply admiring the wonders of European nature photography, keep an eye out for this charming Estrilda astrild! Who knows what other delightful surprises await those who dare venture into the wild?
