    • 2015 September 20, ““¡Águila pescadora sobre tu cabeza!””, in El País:
      Alguien recordaba con énfasis haber fotografiado el día antes un charrán patinegro muy raro, “probablemente un híbrido”, lo que dio pie a una animada discusión, interrumpida abruptamente cuando yo, contagiado del entusiasmo general, grité: “¡jope, un pato!”, lo que me granjeó miradas de conmiseración y alguna ceja levantada.
