The bustard, specifically the Great Bustard (Otis tarda), is a vulnerable species that captivates with its majestic displays. In April, male Great they can be seen showcasing their grandeur on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, UK. The sight of these magnificent creatures strutting their stuff is truly awe-inspiring. Another stunning image captures a male Great Bustard in Extramadura, Spain (BI002601). Its regal presence and intricate plumage make it an absolute marvel to behold. This bird's beauty rivals even the Victorian scraps depicting various birds from yesteryears. In Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, the Kori bustard (Ardeotis kori) takes center stage during its courtship display. With elaborate movements and calls echoing through the park, this bird commands attention like no other. Similarly, the Black korhaan (Eupodotis afra) in Etosha National Park mesmerizes observers with its captivating display and vocal prowess. A breathtaking moment occurs when a Kori Bustard gracefully soars above the Savannah of Etosha National Park against a digitally composed sky. This composite image perfectly encapsulates the freedom and gracefulness of these remarkable birds. Even back in 1880s Africa, hand-colored lithographs showcased avian wonders such as the Tanzania-dwelling Kori bustard at Ngorongoro crater. These illustrations remind us of our enduring fascination with nature's creations throughout history. Let us not forget that these incredible creatures face threats to their existence today. Conservation efforts are crucial for preserving their habitats and ensuring future generations can witness their splendor firsthand. (DDE-90022781), (DDE-90022754), and (DDE-90022623) serve as reminders of our responsibility to protect these vulnerable species before they become mere memories etched into photographs rather than living beings gracing our landscapes.
