…are the future of the race tomorrow. This juvenile Spanish Imperialist was flying about with it´s tagged parent just up the road called Encomienda de Mudela. The adult came bombing down the road at low altitude and over the car. Once I had set myself up the adult had gone too far away really and quite high. To my extreme surprise and pleasure this juvenile then came down the hill and performed some lovely fly bys over me. Magnificent to see a SIE, but how good is it to see two within minutes of each other and then to have them soar overhead for the next twenty minutes. Simply exhilerating!
