Squeaking Dansko Shoes

harrier and the first nest of pale

This morning we went out to give another turn to the harriers that have yet to find. We made two teams, three to one side and three for another, with intent to maximize results while minimizing the effort, because the time available is limited, and the weather was not very flattering. So Gonzales and I go out on the one hand, and in another car Carmen, Angel and Lolo.

amid the reeds.
We have located two nests, one reed mace and the other, then we went in search of other equipment to finish the morning. When we arrived they located two nests of marsh harriers, and had the possibility of another, plus the area was marsh harrier and hen harrier. The two that were located had not been able to enter to look for the bad relationship between the low height of his boots and the great height of the water, so when we join them photographed and marked with GPS location of both.
At this point, I take back to remember the methodology we use to enter the nest, as I think is very important to stress that we must first have the appropriate permissions, second Instead, and more importantly the most important are the bugs. Therefore, after you locate the location of the nest, trying to do the least we can track, we never got to the nest, we were at a distance from which we can take a picture and mark the GPS, then go back to covering the lane in which we entered and then exited. In total we did everything in less than 1 minute. Then you always have to wait a little while to verify that the female returns to the nest without any problems.


By late morning, we found 6 new marsh harrier nests and among the reeds of a stream with at least 4 harrier nests have found the first nest of pale this year, and had 6 eggs. On the negative side, as I have more high boots, I've been in the deepest areas, and two times the water has crept over me.

As
not all feathers, when we went down the road we encountered a spider in the photo, I have no experience with them, but it was really big, at least the ones I've seen around here. Consulted with friends who control, it would be a licósido or wolf spider (Lycosa sp.).
