The Rock Sparrow, Petronia petronia, is a small passerine bird. This sparrow breeds on barren rocky hills from the Iberian peninsula and western north Africa across southern Europe and through central Asia. It is largely resident in the west of its range, but Asian birds migrate to more southerly areas, or move down the mountains.

Living in dry areas throughout Spain, the eastern Canary and Balearic Islands and around the Strait of Gibraltar.

Hola amigo,
Muy buena toma de Petronia petronia con su presa, un grillo. No lo he visto en Teneriffe y creo que no es común.
Estupendo kalidad técnico, composición y fondo.
Bravo Victor!

Hi Vicma,

A marvelous shot of this Rock Sparrow with his beak filled with his prey. Wonderful timing to capture him in this perfect pose. Colors and details of his face, wings, and plumage are excellent. I have never seen this Sparrow before. Perhaps it is a her and not a him?

greeting lou

Como siempre fenomenal Víctor !
Admiro a los "pajareros" y antes de jubilarme me he de dedicar a ellos jeje eso sí, con otro equipo.
Realismo en la toma y bonitas tonalidades. Se ve poco tocada y es de agradecer.

Bonjour Victor
Très jolies nuances de couleurs, les oiseaux sont si difficiles à photographier, car ils bougent tout le temps
Merci pour ce mignon petit oiseau

Muy buenas Victor
Como me gustan estos pajarillos, la verdad es que donde yo los fotografio es una colonia de abejarucos y les pegan unas pasadas que quitan el hipo, pero los chillones erre que erre al final siempre les quitan el nido a algún abejaruco.
Este me recuerda a uno que tengo con un pedazo de ceba que seguro que algún polluelo tuvo algún problema con el trago, como al que le tocara esa ceba, seguro que las patas sobre salen del pico.
Gran captura amigo, ya me contarás como va todo, te estuve llamando pero no conseguí hablar contigo.
Un abrazote y cuídate/ros
