Crag-martin catching a bee

Crag Martin (Ptyonoprogne rupestris)

A crag-martin catches a bee. Old sheds and abandoned houses of the Algarve are places where crag-martins reside. Although they look similar to house martins they belong to a different familiy of bird-species.

Making of: The old dusty path from Loule to Faro the heat of the afternoon was gleaming. Butteflies and birds wer Just for a split second this crag-martin was standing silently in the air to picked the bee.
