"INVASION" OF STORM

 On Sunday 20 \ 02 \ 2011 a strange phenomenon happened while I was studying. I heard the twittering louder and louder, and when I looked out of the window, I noticed that a cloud of swarms had invaded the sky ... No words to describe those images, they speak.

Sardinian Warbler!!!

Almost as big as a sparrow, with a thin beak, short wings and rounded tail,this bird  has a grey color. The male can be distinguished by the edge of tail and especially the black hood that comes from under the eyes on which stands the red ring that suggested the Italian name. The young  female has a plumage less contrasted that can more easily be confused with other small sparrows.In  Italy they can be localized along the coast and in northern regions, but they are migratory birds from Africa.
