    I've wanted to see these sandgrouse since I was a kid, so it was great to get multiple sightings of both Spanish species!
    Still, they're usually very skittish birds, so for both species, we actually crawled across a field, hidden behind a low line of bushes in order to get closer!     Posted 3 years ago
