I hike, I bike, I bird.
A combination of videos of any of these three subjects, plus some random stuff as well.
Important to note: all birds (and other animals shown in the videos) are WILD and FREE. No captive animals, no caged animals, no domesticated animals. I sometimes use hides to get close to birds and mammals, but the animals are always wild and free.

Common Genet in Spain foraging at night
Common Genets (Genetta genetta) are small (about 50 cm/20 inch, excluding their tails which is also about 50 cm/20 inch), catlike carnivores. Males weigh about 2 kilo/4.5 lb and are larger than the females. They feed on smaller mammals (mostly mice), lizards and small birds, but also on invertebrates and fruits like figs and olives.
Common Genets mainly live in Africa and were brought to the Mediterranean from northern Africa as pets around 1000 - 1500 years ago and they have since expanded their distribution in Europe to Portugal, Spain and southern France. During the day they rest in higher parts of tall trees and being solitary and nocturnal, they are quite difficult to see.

A female Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardinus) is drinking from a pool during daytime. Nowadays Iberian Lynxes (also known as Spanish Lynx) are not as rare as they were 20 years ago, when the species was at the brink of extinction.

Small but extremely fierce - Northern Shrike

очень красивая киса, надеюсь, что однажды встречу рысь у себя в лесу, она у нас водится, но ее очень мало, вероятность встретить медведя или волка выше =)
Nice cat! But it is very thirsty and tired.
Just thirsty, this was a hot day.
@@hikerbikerbirder Indeed it was, here too.
😍
Beautiful footage!
Thank you!
Beautiful video
The bird just stands there fearlessly and the cat is also not interested in grabbing it.
The main food of Iberian Lynx is rabbits. They do not often feed on birds, perhaps they don’t like the feathers when eating.
@@hikerbikerbirder, ah. Thanks for the info. :)
