party had reason Alfonso War in 1982 when he said " the day we go to Spain is not going to know or the mother that bore " in what is wrong is that the change began long before the PSOE won the elections that year.
These holidays, my father reminded me as a child in the 40's and early 50, all children of the village of La Mancha Toledo raised kestrel chicks that fell from the roof (they called hawks). He told me that there were plenty of them flying over the town (hundreds). In the 50's began to disappear and the 60 and there was not one. disappeared while lobsters (makes sense since the main diet of the kestrel are Orthoptera). For the kestrel and lobsters followed the frogs and then dragonflies. Now made at fault for the swallows whose reproduction it is testimonial in the town when once abundant under the eaves of houses and, although there remain swifts, is not what it was. She tells me how to "up the hill" oaks and how it has changed the cereal by vineyards. Now, what I see are almost all are vines on trellises. Alejandro Sánchez
told me that his father also had something similar on the amount of Lesser Kestrels was in the city of Madrid. It seems that in the houses around The Retreat was a kind very common. In recent years, we have the lace on this species in Madrid with the new PAU Vallecas. At the beginning of 2000 I did a census of storks in the Community of Madrid and I started to ask the older neighbors, who are always on the town square on the lesser kestrel. In almost all villages was a common species, now it is a species listed as Endangered in the Community of Madrid.
I love talking to people who knew what was in the 40 and 50 in Spain, on the other Spain, in the original, and that at that Spain does not know neither the mother who bore her.
Much of what we do not recover, but I hope we are able to keep some of what we have and above all preserve the memory of what we were.
