What is the most interesting in nature photography, is the fact that nothing is ever sure and nature can always surprise us. I was returning after an unsuccessful shooting session of  the common quail, it was raining, and suddenly a turtle dove jumped out almost from under my wheels. It sat down on a nearby dry tree and there it was waiting calmly for the downpour to stop. Unfortunately, the 600 millimeter lens with 2X converter did not help. The distance was too large.

Attempts to photograph European nightjar are time spent an hour before sunset and an hour before sunrise. In order not to waste time during the day, we were looking for other interesting species in the same forest, of course with a priority focused on birds. Omnipresent caciques, traditionally unavailable in the treetops. This time, the forest wood warblers and two representatives of reptiles came to the rescue - blindworm and a new species for me an European viper. Vipers can have very different colors.
