i asked so because early morning, i hear very shrill call of a bird among agricultural fields which looks sort of like your spotting. Never got to take that one's pic, because that bird is pretty shy too and runs like crazy. One day if luck permits i shall get a clear pic and let you know....
never heard it ctsetan i was lucky enough to get it on cam ,
it is a very shy bird and flees off at the sight of humans
does it make shrill noise early in the morning ???? and evening?
Welcome.

Lovely spotting and superb clarity.
