Red Necked Spurfowl

[Dawesy]

Quite a difficult bird to capture as they tend to be visible on the dirt tracks which wind there way through the Mara but as soon as they see a vehicle they move off sideways into the long grass. I had to use spot focus on the head to avoid the long grass over the birds back.

Well caught - it looks a bit like Road Runner.
