Hi, feathered lovers! Today I come to tell you the story of a poor sparrowhawk, who for days has been stalking a turtledove nest but has never been able to reach it. Whenever he tries to approach the nest, the smaller birds attack him to such an extent that he has to flee.
Yesterday he stood on a dry branch of an old tree, to have a better view of the nest but he slipped and then climbed up the trunk of the tree, and when he was looking towards the nest, I think he was doing his calculations to see if he could reach and land on the nest without problems, then the small birds arrived again, flew near him and surrounded him standing on the branches nearby, although he was not intimidated and continued standing there, but within minutes he took off and flew away.
Every day he comes to try his luck, sometimes there are two of them but none of them come very close to the turtledoves' nest. I think it is a sacred nest, two generations of chicks have already hatched there and although the hawks have stalked them, they always survive.
Hoy vengo a contarles la historia de un pobre gavil谩n, que desde hace d铆as est谩 acechando un nido de t贸rtolas pero nunca ha podido llegar a el. Siempre que intenta acercarse al nido las aves de menor tama帽o lo atacan a tal punto que al pobre le toca huir.
Ayer se par贸 sobre una rama seca de un viejo 谩rbol, para tener una mejor vista al nido pero resbal贸 y despu茅s trep贸 por el tronco del 谩rbol, y cuando estaba viendo hacia el nido, creo que haciendo sus c谩lculos a ver si pod铆a llegar y aterrizar en el nido sin problemas, entonces llegaron otra vez las aves peque帽as, volaban cerca de 茅l y lo rodearon par谩ndose en las ramas cercas, aunque 茅l no se intimid贸 y sigui贸 ahi parado, pero a los minutos alz贸 su vuelo y se fue.
Todos los d铆as viene a probar suerte, a veces son dos pero ninguno llega muy cerca del nido de las t贸rtolas. Creo que es un nido sagrado, ya han nacido ahi dos generaciones de polluelos y aunque las han acechado los gavilanes siempre sobreviven.
