In these photographs of an almond field in Altet, in the Urgell region, a bird appears in the trees. I know because I've seen it, but now I can't find it. Can you help me locate it in the images?
This is the new visual challenge that I propose to you today in a new edition of The Readers' Challenge of La Vanguardia. The game is simple, you just have to find the little bird in these almond trees.
And I'm going to make it even easier for you because I'm going to tell you what bird it is: it is a red bunting (Emberiza cirlus), a small bird between 15-16.5 cm in length and a wingspan of between 22-22 .5 cm with a thick beak adapted to feeding on seeds.
The male displays a bright yellow head, crowned with black, and a greenish chest band that crosses its yellow belly. The back is marbled with a brown-brown color. The female is similar, but the lower part of the back is grayish brown. I'm going to show you in detail:
Have you managed to find the bird? Have the clues I've given you helped you? In any case, finally, I show you these other photographs where the position of the Soteño bunting in the almond trees is marked. It is the solution to the visual challenge.
