species per a Catalunya: Oreneta cuabarrada
Thanks to the work of investigative journalism, a zoological disinterested contributor (thanks Martha), we know that the prestigious journal of the Upper and Lower Penedès, Anoia and surrounding areas
La Fura in
in his number 22 of 28 July 2005, page 17 published what is without doubt an unprecedented discovery in the zoo field.

know if this is an endemic species of the Penedes (provisionally named as
Delichon fasciatus) Or is it a case of hybridization, such as those produced in recent years the Ebro delta between the reefs and white egrets, birds producing intermediate characteristics. Surprising that in all cases as a zoological journal La Fura (your name here) has not published this discovery to other sites as
Nature, Nature

ViladePiera.cat , magazines wide eaves in the area. In any case even is more surprising is that as a species being distributed by 90% of Catalonia (see article) does not recent news they have only been detected in places as disparate as Girona, Barcelona, \u200b\u200battention, St. Cyprian of
Vallalta undoubtedly an area of \u200b\u200bthe range of the species that survives after the last glaciation. This theory is supported by the atavism of some of its residents such as Boar Bikers

It was not until last 28/12/2009 but when, during research on the next
Atlas of Wintering Birds in Catalonia , we encountered a single document
without doubt is referred Delichon fasciatus
to reproduce it over here. With a structural aspect of hirundínid (body squat, rounded wings and tail forced), we find morphological and plumage traits that remind us of some prey (also called the article
"technique the adaptation been done before in raptors, but not with this species " ). So the situation in the rump that individual gender
Delichon is located in the mantle, the tail is effectively barred and no one remembers prey Mediterranean accustomed to bumping mills wind farms. Views similarities and lack of adaptation might wonder if this is a summer species in the presence of vane fans at home could affect the way that this raptor Godwit is affected by wind farms. But could not rule out the effect of air conditioning, particularly for this obsession from nesting in roofs. With the cliffs there are worlds to main god. And eleven ...
However it is possible that the low reproductive success of the species has to do with habitat ethyl detected (raised in a cellar). The coach said it commissioned:
'parents do not recognize their children, so this method of adoption is going well' . Obviously with so many fumes or smell and parents recognize their children, parents or children or any ornithologists recognize anything because they directly face to the glass.
Sources Natural Environment (surname is not nobody, we mean sources information) was not concerned demonstrate a new hybrid case of Bonelli's eagle and swallow Martin as some features of the plumage so manifest, which upset all recovery plans in progress. With the cost reports and take forward the paperwork ...
Since this blog will continue investigating the future of this new species we will surely our friends Team Tramontana also see the next marathon in April 2010 that exceeds the record of 292 species interplanetary Saturn within 24 hours.
