Beautiful creatures but it's so tense driving past them!
All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

Lucky! Iβd love to see those! Report it on eBird if you havenβt already! Citizen science!
I do report stuff to both eBird and the German equivalent of it, ornitho.de! Here's the checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S138803699
It also includes a photo of the female that was nearby.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome :-) Glad you liked it!
That's one beautiful bird! Is that your own photo? Great shot!
Thanks! Yes itβs my shot, I photograph birds as a hobby :-) I took this a few weeks ago with my old setup, my Canon 70D and a Tamron 150-600 mm lens. I upgraded to an R10 now. The location is Bielefeld, Germany.
And they are indeed beautiful. The females are really difficult to spot, though. They look just like the ground! Good camouflage.
