Here are three very different birds from my recent outing.

I have waited for six years before getting close enough to this species to get a resonable photo.

Cream-coloured Courser

I found this lady sitting by the roadside early morning sleeping

Hi to all and thank you for your kind comments and interest.
The Courser grows up to 26 cm. Its a passage migrant and winter visitor, in the desert it blends in perfectly with its arid surroundings and can be difficult to see. Unfortunately it is hunted by locals
