We look for species such as Black-bellied and White-bellied Sandgrouse, Little and Great Bustard and the Crested Cuckoo, but finding them is difficult, and taking a photo is even more difficult. Fortunately, other animals are also plants to watch. And I have a small staircase, a small dot in a field of grass.
