To avoid the traffic lights and rush hour, I drove through some forgotten, derelict industrial zone at the outskirts of the city (which is my usual shortcut). had every right to feel worried, with or without a reason. I picked up E. in the morning in front of her hotel. That would have been the last thing to come to my mind.

They are the Desert Wheatears and Siberian Thrushes that abandon all reason and fly to Britain (maybe they heard about the UK Birdfair ?). In fact, right now, in all likelihood, there probably are a few Aplomados up that way hunting in some far off fields never visited by birders. Happy birders looking at an Aplomado Falcon.
