    Little Bustard

    Long observation periods may reward the patient photographer with actions such as wing stretching. I am enchanted with the intricacy of the "design and structure" of these birds, the pattern details are very complex and the birds are masters of camouflage

    Ourique area - small report

    Little Bustards have turned up today in the meadow. I counted 30 with one or 2 stupidly close like within 5 m of the car. Went the camera but they flocked off. Lost them and then picked em up on a far ridge. Hopefully photofun will begin soon
