The birds of my town

     Last Friday I was in Fuentes de Andalucía, at the presentation of the book 'Las aves de mi pueblo', the work of Francisco Barcia and which focuses on the most representative birdlife of this beautiful place in the province of Seville.

     I had already been in Fuentes a couple of times, but on this occasion and on the occasion of the Book Fair that is held annually around this time, I traveled to the town due to the interest that a book dedicated to the birds of the Sevillian Campiña aroused to me.

     This is how I had the opportunity to greet and talk for a while with the author of the work and get hold of a copy of the publication that contains a hundred photographs —most of them taken by Paco—, beautiful images that accompany the small texts that help to identify each species.

     I enjoyed an afternoon with people who love what I love and that gave me a feeling of relaxation that I had needed for a long time.
