Wonderful photo.

Great shot. He is so well camoflaged, I bet he was hard to get a photo of. He looks like a partridge family member (Not the 70's TV show - partridge family) to me.

Kaward it is possible.I have a South African Bird book here.Maybe i must go through it again to see if i get its name.

This is a very unusual bird to me. It has markings that remind me of pheasant and a body style to match but the head and neck remind me of the roadrunner. A fabulous shot.

Ha, ek wou sê "bospatrys" (crested francolin) maar sal volstaan, daar is te veel verskille. Excellent close up detail.

Oom Piet ek moes ook mooi soek in my voelboek,maar het hom darem opgespoor. Dankie vir die komplimente Oom Piet. Vroulief het die een geneem. Ek het meer op die paaie gekonsentreer as wat ek afgeneem het,maar ons het die dag terdee geniet.
