CommentDriving slowly along a little used track hoping for Bustards I had a bird fly from track in front of me, thinking it may have come from a nest I stopped immediately and turned off the motor. As it landed I saw there was another adult present and both were calling loudly. I decided to wait to see if a bird might return to where I suspected there might be a nest, if so I could negotiate my way around without causing damage. A couple of minutes later with the birds still calling I noticed movement from the corner of my eye, this little one had been hunkered down about 20 m from me and was now running away. It stopped briefly allowing me a few frames before continuing and looking toward the adults I saw another young one. There may have been another one or two but since I now knew the reason for their behaviour I departed.
