A parched bird looks delighted to have found a drink of water as it is perfectly reflected on a small pond. The Eurasian stone-curlew was spotted taking a drinking break in the West Negev desert in Israel.
Haim Mizrachy said, “The West Negev is a hot desert with little water. I arrived at the location during darkness so the birds didn’t notice me, then stayed for several hours.”
“To give the wildlife some relief, a local woman in a small desert village built this small pond for the birds to come and drink.”
