Lo Romero - 12.11.19
Lo Romero Golf being quite close you would imagine gets quite a bit of coverage from me when out in Murcia which can be full of small passerines in the scrubbier undeveloped areas easily photographed with the aid of a mobile hide...a car.
It's a five minuet drive to the golf coarse but on route there's a few locations I like to check out on the way at various times of the year, the Sand Martin colony at the end of the road and the Orange groves that can have quite a few Stone Curlew that congregate during winter months, but thats for another day and another post.
Driving around the golf coarse I always like to get the camera ready mounted on the bean bag out through the car window driving at a slow 5 mph, you just have to make sure don't drop the camera ! Waiting for a photo op first I more often than not missed the shot so I try to avoid this more relaxed (lazy !) approach.
Between the seasons it can be a little quite but there are a few resident birds that you can always rely on to provide some action.....Stonechats and marauding groups of finches. The undeveloped areas with its low scrubby bushes flanked orange groves providing some great even colours and shooting wide open isolate the subject perfectly as shown in the first image of a male Stonechat perfectly.
Stonechat
This male Stonechat liked to use a tree support cane as a perch, and of course anything the male can do so can the female.
