One from Dubai


Courtesy of Derrick Wilby who lent me his camera :-)

This is an Ortolan bunting and a very splendid one too. I worked out where it was heading, walked ahead and sat on the dewy grass at about 6.30am in Dubai Creek Park, waiting for the chap to approach. It got to within about 10'. A little gem.
