Olvera, Spain - Kestrel
June 2016 - the late sun catches the underside of a kestrel as it hovers above the park, with a swift in the background. The 'Plaza de Andalusia' in Olvera is the garden of el Peñón del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús (the Rock of the Sacred Heart of Jesus), a beautiful rock/flower garden. A variety of birds can be seen in the park or flying high above it. Olvera, itself, is situated in the north-eastern corner of the Cadiz province and, with a population of about 8,500, is one of the larger "pueblo blancos" (white villages) in the area with white houses, steep and narrow streets leading up to an old Arab fortress at the top of town. Close by is an impressive church, the 'Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación' (the Parish of Our Lady of the Incarnation). There are plenty more photos of Olvera and other Spanish towns/locations if you take a look at my 'Albums' page, www.flickr.com/photos/36623892@N00/sets/ - thank you.
