Field Notes

Description:

Finally found the beloved bird of Konrad Lorenz... its pretty common in Sardinia but I've never seen it in the rest of Italy. There was a pretty big colony, about 20 specimens living among the ruins of a prehistoric sardinian tower, there was strong wind and when they flew they stood almost still fighting against the moving air.

Habitat:

They lived in an ancient nuragic complex(the buildings of the first Sardinian inhabitants)
