If you have Golf courses nearby and they allow visitors, try you Luck there with a Golf cart. I got very close in Egypt to these guys :) Lovely catch!
Dangermouse
You were lucky to catch it! I've been trying for years and still nothing. The only time I had the chance of taking a brilliant photo I didn't have my camera with me! :(

That's true Dangermouse, I commented on it being nervous when trying to take the photo and had to use the digital zoom on my iphone to be able to catch it :)

I saw my first one in South Africa. They are a bit different and easy to remember. Good spotting.
Dangermouse
Common in the south of Portugal, but difficult to photograph because they are nervous. Good spotting!
