[QUOTE="GiG, post: 3483579, member: 6690"] [B]14.05.2016 continued[/B] Further along on the road on the other side a [B]Buzzard[/B] sat upon a fence post. After some distance we pulled down a side track, with open grassy fields either side while ahead the fields led up to the base of some hills. Along the track we saw [B]Short-toed Lark[/B], [B]Crested Lark[/B] and in the field a number of [B]Sousliks[/B] and a couple of [B]Isabelline Wheatears[/B]. We stopped to scan the area as a farmer came towards us herding some cattle and in a ditch a [B]Marsh Frog[/B] was present with a [B]Dice Snake[/B] close by that caught a small fish. In the air above and also on a fence post ahead we at last saw [B]Long-legged Buzzards[/B] and had great views in the beautiful lit surroundings. We had a treat when another farmer came along, this time carrying a bucket full of ripe cherries and let us take a handful each to eat – delicious! With the Sousliks being the main prey of Eastern Imperial Eagle we hoped to see the species again, but scanning the skies only revealed further [B]Long-legged Buzzards[/B] and [B]Kestrels[/B]. We headed back to van seeing the [B]Short-toed Larks[/B] again along the track and back on to the highway but within five minutes made a stop when we saw a pale-phase [B]Booted Eagle[/B] above. Not much further along, another roadside stop due to raptors seen, revealed three [B]Eastern Imperial Eagles[/B] circling giving fantastic views and as we watched them a [B]Black Kite[/B] drifted past. 1.Isabelline Wheatear 2.Long-legged Buzzard 3.Souslik 4.Marsh Frog 5.Eastern Imperial Eagle [/QUOTE]
