  Thank you, I took very few photos of this species which is becoming increasingly rare. This is my favourite. Posted 3 years ago

    Indeed is sadly rare, I still have to find one. I think I may have better chances in France :-) Posted 3 years ago

  End of an afternoon in the mountains, wind and rather gray weather. She didn't want me to approach her from behind so I got in front of her and she gave me enough time to take a good picture... Posted 3 years ago
