Common Quail Expand text

It's quite funny that it was Spain where I photographed quail for the first time. For me it is an important species, as it belongs to the fauna of Poland. It is the last representative in the family of galliformes that occurs in Poland, which I have not photographed yet. Although it is not one of the rare birds in Poland, I failed several times trying to photograph it. I could hear its voice in Tanzania, in the campsite where I pitched my tent. In the area where I live here in Poland I have heard many times voices of quails and that was it. While I was lying hidden and attempted to photograph it, the quail walked around me and never came in front of my camera lens. Here in Spain, with the help of such an experienced photographer as Jose Luis, the whole session lasted two hours, but satisfaction and emotions certainly remain for a long time. At last, the quail goes to my gallery with the photos of non-documentary quality, but the sound of the quail is probably a few years old, because during my previous shooting attempts I had recorded its voice, which can be published finally.
