On Fuerteventura I photographed these iguanas in turns with weaver finches. They passed slowly and solemnly and there was no problem with taking pictures. Green iguanas like weavers are the species not naturally occurring on the island. There is a high probability that they escaped from farms or were released into the wild by breeder when slightly exceeded his expectations. Naturally they occur in South and Central America. Green iguanas grow up to 1.5 meters in length.

I had to ask professionals to identify the Green Sandpiper (Paweł, Mr Julian, greetings) as the differences between Green Sandpiper, Wood Sandpiper and other Sandpipers has been a challenge for me so far. I observed them too rarely to tell and to be sure of the identification. Like it once was with European Robin and Red-breasted Flycatcher and couple of other species. So there is a progress, which undoubtedly makes me happy. Unfortunately, the watching spot wasn’t perfect, as for couple of hours of observation, two Green Sandpipers flew by for two brief moments.

Although I managed to capture many species of hummingbirds, you can find there one description of all 22 species photographed in Costa Rica together. This time my expedition took longer and the light was better, I had therefore an opportunity to take many dynamic pictures. It is interesting that driving around Costa Rica after traveling several kilometers there were species of hummingbirds completely different from those we could observe earlier.

This wasn't another birding trip, but I could not resist taking my camera equipment with me to such an exotic country as Gambia? My photography in Africa so far has been of the eastern and southern parts of Africa. So, in Gambia, which lies in the western part of Africa, I was hoping to encounter many new species, not to say that I was also hoping for the ease of close bird photography. This only applied to a small number of species near human settlements.

I cannot remember how many times I have set out „for the green woodpecker”. I had seen it many times, but to take a picture of it was a totally different thing. It is very skittish and perhaps very rare, as while looking for it I had taken lots of pictures of the great woodpecker, the middle one, or the lesser one, but never the green woodpecker itself. The green woodpecker is quite extraordinary, as it eats mainly ants, and it can’t do without formic acid in its menu. It often feeds on the ground, digging around anthills. It does it even in winter.
