Souslik (Spermophilus citellus)

Tip of the day - If you want to see Isabelline Wheatear first find your Souslik! The Wheatears love to build their nests in these cute little animals' burrows! The area I visited yesterday is a noted spot for both species.

So that's the explanation! We did see both species in the same field on my trip to Romania. Not as close as this, though.
