These are rare now where I am. The local council saw fit to bulldoze the area which contained their nesting sites for regenerative reasons; to regenerate the local flora by killing everything else.

What can you say, typical of a political/partial solution to a 'perceived' problem where the only problem is in the eye of the perceiver.

Edit : Ho Ho Ho, you can't take living too seriously. :-)

Beautiful image of a handsome species. Sad to learn of your common plight. Perhaps your photo work could affect local change? Educating the masses has been the thrust of my own. Keep the faith.

Thanks Phil.

GlynS. The shot is in a field of grass where these males roost at sundown. This one is about to launch again to try a different stalk to sleep on. They do that until it gets too dark to fly.
