Således kommer de lidt barnlige og kluntede Skovspurve næsten altid i flok, og de hægter sig fast med kløerne ved åbningen af nødd

The silent waters surrounding me with deceptional peace, promising that after death comes that which wise men find sacred. Your eternal salvation from the illusions born into your brain as you became a child man. Once.

Did you know that...
When visiting Guadalajara in summer time, and you hear a chip call from trees and bushes and you think it must be an out-of-season warbler, then it is most likely rather a young Bewick's Wren calling its mom or dad.
