This wheathear is all black except for the underpart and tail. They seem to like the desert and bare rocks.

This was early morning and we stood on a cliff with the Atlantic ocean below us. A few birds walking on the shore. Too far away really. Needed a tube to even see them. But there was some oystercatchers. A new species for the trip. There is one on the documentary shot that I took through the tube.

A beautiful female sitting on the thorny bush a long while. Never minding a bunch of Swedes closing in. There was not much bugs or flies for her to capture. People said that´s why there are so few birds in the area. And even lesser no of raptors.
