I love the way these birds blend into their desert surroundings. The first shot is of the clutch, beautifully camouflaged too. The next three are of the sitting bird.

This may seem demeaning but I mean it in the nicest way. Without the story, I would have looked at the first two shots and said they look just like some of the happy holiday shots I take. Even with the story, I didn't really pick up on the meaning until I saw the 3rd picture. Good work.

It took me some time, but I see two eggs> # 1 is not the same immediate site as #2? Do not see the rocks. Very nice sighting. We love coursers, this one looks nearly just like our Temminck's Courser, Cursorius temminckii, Where is this, love the dry country! Nice series too! :giggle:

Thanks Callie, it is the same site just photographed from a different angle. The flat faced whitish stone behind the bird's head in shot 4 is at 8 o'clock from the eggs in shot 1. This was photographed in Morocco last year, not far from the town of Boumalne Dades. Two mates and I spent about ten days there, taking in Erg Chebbi and the Atlas Mountains too. We saw and photographed some wonderful birds, many of which I will feature in here. How exciting to discover species that are unfamiliar and to be able to get a few photos of them! This was my second visit to Morocco, my third should have happened this year, Covid put the Kibosh on that.
