Description

Lo, here the gentle lark, weary of rest, From his moist cabinet mounts up on high, And wakes the morning, from whose silver breast The sun ariseth in his majesty; - Shakespeare (Venus and Adonis)
It is good to upload again! My old cam broke down, the new cam is still not very used to me and tonight I have the first visible evidence that I managed to aim the cam in the right direction, LOL!
This is a photo of the Clapper Lark, a very common but very shy resident in most parts of South Africa. They are not very easy to capture and I was lucky to get close with the 17-85mm lens.
Thanks to all views and comments, and a special thanks to the local photographers plus Kai and Andreas offering help to master my new cam. You guys are great.
