An Ortolan Bunting (Emberiza hortulana) singing in the sunset on the Causse Mejean in the south of france. These are beautiful birds and they have a wonderful song and i had the opportunity to hold some in my hands while helping some people of the LPO banding them for the Musée Paris, a great experience!
I fell in love with this picture.. It's magical.♥ You were very lucky to hold one in your hands! I had that chance a while ago thanks to my parents. (especially my father who is an ornithologist) I remember how I was able to feel the little heartbeat of the bird I had in my hands while my father banded it..
Thank you for making this shot.. It reminded me of wonderfull moments. ♥
Its great when my pictures create such emotions, thanks a lot for your feedback, i really love birds and holding them in hands (we have a banding project for barn swallows here in northern germany)
