Field Notes

Description:

It was not easy to catch. The bird passed my car very close when I drove it and luckely I did not hit it. In the moment I saw the bird I jumped out and had some seconds to make the pictures till it disappeared again. Its a very shy and fast moving bird.

The pictures are not the best. I hope I will see it again to take some...

Habitat:

next to a road between agriculture fields, not far from a village
