Description

This is a Pternistis capensis (Cape spurfowl, Cape francolin). For a change this 'racing chicken' was not so mobile, allowing me a shot while at the Kirstenbosch Botanical gardens. Enjoy! Clive

I love the pattern of the feathers; what a beauty, and a new one to me too. Maybe she was looking for handouts?
