My grandmother

My grandmother was born in Sora a 13 June 1935. His father died when she was 10 years old.
She wanted to study but when his father died he had to go to work on other farms in the area.
She met my grandfather and married.
She had  five sons but the older died at four years old.
She has suffered all the life because in the past women was considerate  lower than men.
If she could have studied might have had a better life.
I know that in my life won’t know a person as kind as her.

My grandfather

My grandfather was born one day in March 1927 in Llucmajor (Mallorca). His parents were farmers who worked in the dry lands of  almond trees, the most important cultivation in island. How many people during that time, my grandfather migrate to city . He moved to Es Molinar, a fishing district near Palma de Mallorca.
He lived the tragic postwar. In Balearic islands the postwar was worse than the peninsula because it came very little food to peninsula. He remembered this time as  es temps de sa fam .
He worked at many jobs as bus driver or mechanic.
Now, he has 82 years and continues living in es Molinar, as always.

Objectives of the trip end of year. X 2 ( +200 WORDS)

My main objectives of the end of year trip that will made during the last week of March are, as is natural in me, observed the only two species of birds that there aren’t in Spain.  Are italian sparrow (Passer italiae) and Hooded crow (Corvus cornix)
When we were told to choose where to travel, I thought that the Canarias islands  were a place with more species that had not seen, but I finally voted to go to Italy, thinking that  would traveled an another time. I deleted Malta, because there are many killers  because each year hundreds of birds protected by the European Union died in that place of third world.

I thought to bring the telescope to watch birds and use for the boat trip from Italy to Barcelona. The objective is to see the bird of the storm (Hydrobates pelagicus), I have not seen. Also dolphins and if are lucky, saw the second largest animal in the world, Fin Whale (Balaenoptera physalus).
But not all the time I'll be watching birds and whales, also I enjoy of Italian culture and maybe ‘ll found a girlfreind, but is more difficult.

Summer in Mallorca 2011(200 words)

These summer i went to Mallorca, as usual, for visited my familiy.  Also as always, for watching brids... My objective but, was to see dolphins because I was tired to not see any. In 2008, in Gibraltar i had to do a boat trip for watched dolphins and orcas but the extrem wind don't permit. In 2009 a friend  watched one dolphin but i don't found in the sea.
This summer but, was different, while I stayed in a desert island with a friend searching eleonorae falcon, I watched that the sea was moving in one point near the cost.  I focused my  telescope and could see eight differents dolphins !!!! Was incredible. I was very excited. These exemplars were the specie Tursiops truncatus.
 Next day, I left from Mallorca about ship with my friend, to Barcelona. The trip lasted seven hours but was very exciting. When the ship was left to  Palma port we could see Phalacrocorax carbo and Calonectris diomedea a rares birds in Catalonia. I  was searching dolphins. Suddenly one dolphin  was jumping far to ship but disapeared.
I thought that would not see more dolphins but, one hour later while i was  boring in the seat, from the windows could see a group to delphins next to ship. I was running with my friend at left ship and were watching very well.
 We waited a moment and another group of dolphins, suddenly, appeared very close and babies! was incredible!!
When arrived in Barcelona I had seen more than forty dolphins of two species: Tursiops truncatus and Stenella coeruleoalba.

Landscapes to Manlleu: ''La Devesa''(200 words)

''La Devesa'' it's a forest situated in left-river. In the past,  many people of Manlleu went to take wood for burn in their homes. Also did  parties where the people sang and danced.
Now this place is private and a man doesn't let pass.
I'm a fanatic birdwatching and ''La Devesa'' is very important as a refuge birds. In  winter, Montse Vilaregut and I have spent many hours reading rings to Phalacrocorax carbo. We have reading twelve diferents exemplars in two years and we've control these exemplars many times. Sometimes one exemplar has been saw during all winter.
 Also this place it's important because has a very important ''joca''.  In English, ''joca'' it's a group of trees that birds use in winter for sleeping. In Manlleu four species do use. The most important it's Casmerodius albus, a white bird that was detect in Osona since 2007 and i think that in Manlleu there are one of the most importants population in winter, in center Catalonia.
It's possible that in the future a road affected this area and destroyed this  very important natural heritage.
While, yesterday I went in ''La Devesa'' and I could see one hundred Phalacrocorax carbo, fifty Bubulcus ibis and seven Casmerodius albus(maxim is thirteen). Also two pelegrin falcon and many normal ducks.
The nature there is very wild and is ten minutes from home. It's perfect!
