It had never happened to me during my travels that  a group of people had made such an impression on me as the Maasai. No matter if we were on semi-desert or green territories. The Maasai people, always clad in their characteristic, often plaid, red, purple or blue tapestries, perfectly fitted into that African landscape. They live very modest lives, grazing animals which belong to their livestock. These are mainly goats and cows.

This is undoubtedly the worst gallery of any species among nearly 2,000 bird galleries on my website. You have to trust the author a bit to believe that it is indeed this bird in the photos, rather than another – a bit of irony about my photographic failure to capture the Arabian bustard. These are not really photos, but more like painted pictures. Usually, I don’t create galleries for species photographed in less than documentary quality during my trips, but I made an exception for the Macqueen's Bustard. Why?
