On the #DailyWalk, I spotted this Eastern Wood Peewee by the pond. It's the first one I've ever identified. It looked to me like an Eastern Kingbird, but smaller and slimmer.
These birds overwinter in Colombia and are making the long migration north. This individual might nest here or might still be heading north.

@donray Thank you for sharing the photo and the interesting information. What a long migration indeed!

You're welcome! It was exciting to see a new bird. And those long migrations really do boggle the mind!

@donray A couple of days ago I spotted some #birds flying over the roof of our flat and my #Merlinbird app told me they were...
And with these presenters, we start officially our #Spring in Barcelona

It’s nice to see signs of Spring.

I just checked out the sounds they make. I’ll have to be listening for it this summer.

@donray They are often up high in a fully leaved tree. So you kinda need patience and binoculars for a good view. Which I rarely have with me
I recently bought one of these little jobbers. Kinda pricey but has decent optics. The focus is touchy, but expected that after reading reviews. Works decent with my glasses on/off and can close focus really well too.
Was hoping the small size would behove me to bring it along more often for such occasions...
