Happiness
It is lucky and happy as a male great bustard, besides this two women at present, there are more women out of the pictureShooting bustards is a tough thing,its rare in China that it is said the population of this bird is not over 500, the most important is that the bird is too alert to approach.so we have to get up at 3:30, and hide us in camouflage net in the dark, then wait in silence and cold until daybreak, begging the bird walk to us closer. after two days of shooting, God give a brilliant chance to us, a flock of bustard is coming over 100 meters away, one male and many female, then... Perfect performace and Never forget!
