King Lizard (19 photos)
This handsome guy is a true king of his district. When i met him, he was fighting with other, smaller male, but i frightened them both, so he escaped and went to hide on a nearby acacia tree:

I was in hurry so i quickly made couple of shots and continued on my way, being sure i'll never see him again. But when i came back one hour later, i found him sitting on the same tree. So i made it a photo session.

Scream

Spur-winged Lapwing (Vanellus spinosus) on a wasteland near my house. The place is full of trash that humans throw away and birds usually come here to search for a food.
Kind of a «human impact on ecology» photo, although i just wanted to picture the bird. :)
300 mm, f/6.3, 1/500, ISO 100.

The Keeper

Alectoris chukar in it's natural environment.
I found a bunch of them and as i got closer they started to run away one by one, scared. This one has been running last. He stopped on upper rocks and watched me coming and his friends running, signaling them with usual «kwa-kwa» until i've got too close. Then he escaped the scene as well.
