This was the biggest surprise of the trip: a "Swedish" quail! It's a species that I've been trying to photograph for a long time but haven't succeeded! It was even one of the reasons why I went on a birding trip to Israel where it was supposed to be common and reasonably easy to photograph. Once there, it was as invisible as in Sweden. Many have heard of quail, even around Uppsala, but few have seen it. It's one of the birds that is the best at hiding, e.g. in tall grass. Then it suddenly appeared to cross the road. I had the camera up and was the only one who got a couple of pictures during the few seconds it appeared. When I looked in the camera afterwards, I said to the guide in shock: Was it a coturnix? A double-coturnix?? [Look at the Latin name!] He confirmed and I had to pinch my arm... The feeling of happiness lasted for a long time!
