The foundations for a new bridge over the river Pra hosted two prominent guests this day: a pair of rock pratincoles! Once they were discovered, we did everything we could to get as close as possible. We walked in building sand, climbed over boulders and were finally able to enjoy the view from the river shore. Instead of choosing rocks for the dinner break, the pratincoles had chosen one of the bridge foundations, in the middle of the river. Pratincoles hunt insects along the river, morning and evening, but often take a siesta in the middle of the day, especially if the day is hot. During breeding, they divide into pairs and they live in lifelong relationships.
