daytime displaying Capercaillie
Photographing displaying Capercaillie in daytime is a dream come true. Having the luck to see displaying on a tree is even bigger bonus. What a bird this is! Totally recommend this experience! Can't wait for the coming season!- dancho_hristov

It is a shame that these birds are still killed for people to make bags from the birds' pouches. I suppose this could be a reason for the very high conservation priority status of...- dancho_hristov

Tristram's Starling
The whistling call of Tristram's Starlings echoes in the wadis of Southern Oman making them enjoyable to see. A group of birds let me approach them down to a few metres after a pleasant camping. I was rather dark at the bottom of the wadi but still managed to get a few shots.- dancho_hristov
