During the stay in South Africa I managed to photograph three species of plovers: the white-fronted plover, the Kittlitz's plover and the three-banded plover. This text is common to these three species. The white-fronted plover was photographed by the sea, or rather by the Indian Ocean. Taking photos of this bird was like shooting pictures of a common ringed plover on the Baltic Sea. Moving slowly it was possible to gradually reduce the distance from the bird. There were only a few small plovers, several sanderlings and a small flock of terns on the long and wide beach.

Finally, there is something new in the gallery presenting the woodpecker family – Three-toed Woodpecker. It is a thing of rarity in Poland. I have never come across this bird in Poland. It inhabits boreal forests dominated by coniferous trees, especially dying coniferous trees. We encountered in such a forest. The old forest was beautiful with the brushwood of moss and lichen and with hills and knolls. There were not many Woodpeckers. After a long marsh and intense observation, we managed to spot just one. It was female.

When I was on my way back from hides after shooting the lesser spotted eagle I was driving slowly down a country road among the meadows and pastures. Here and there along the road there was water in depression, and the whole area was overgrown with thick bushes. In such a place I could hear a beautiful birdsong. I knew that in the eastern Poland a thrush nightingale can be found and a common nightingale - in the western . In Greater Poland it is easy to take photos of the common nightingale. As I read the thrush nightingale is much more skittish.
