When will this heatwave finally end?

This poor Dikkop has been sitting on the same spot for weeks now. Hubby is sitting under the olive tree in the shade. I think she must be breeding.

[Babs]

She does look rather hot and bothered.

[Issi Bannerman]

She’s lovely!

[Brigette]

i hear you and then it will be winter and we will be asking when will it start!!

[Maggiemae]

Her yellow eye is just so different and being a bird that nests in the ground would be rather stressful! fav

[winghong_ho]

Beautiful capture of the bird. Hope the heat will lower soon.

[Beryl Lloyd]

She does look rather stressed in the heat !

[Susan Wakely]

Lovely markings.

[tony gig]

Beautiful...

[Valerie Chesney]

Poor darling she does look stressed especially if breeding.. her eye is quite stunning.

[Mags]

Poor thing! Making look pretty hot out there.

[Steve Jacob]

Lovely capture

[narayani]

Can you leave her some water?!

[Esther Rosenberg]

I hope she is nesting and you will see some little guys soon.

This is an amazing close up shot of her. Does she get any shade at all?

[Jennifer Eurell]

Lovely photo and good use of light and shade, but a shame she has no shelter. There is probably a reason for it.

[Merrelyn]

Haha, I've been feeling the same way. Thankfully we have a cool change for a couple of days.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Aww, so cute.

[gloria jones]

Nice detaiils

[Heather]

A wonderful capture! I love her streaked brown markings. She does look distressed, though. I don't know. Fav

[Bill]

Really nice crisp shot.

[Rick]

Great shot. We'll be watching to see if there are any new ones.

@narayani I've tried that last time, they did not even come close to it. Maybe they don't drink?
@grammyn She could sit next to hubby under the olive tree, but there is no grass. That's why I think she is breeding. She does have shade there in the morning Katy :-)

@ludwigsdiana Good to know she’s not sitting in the hot sun all day long
