Erm... any better picture?

 

Looks like a regular Kori Bustard to me.

I’m running out of bird pictures. It’s smaller than a kori bustard.

No francolin. Jochen was closer.

 

Ah yes, black busterd then. I see a lack underside, and the black band in the neck...

Jochen seems to be busy with other things, so I jump in to keep this alive...

 

All you non-birders and non-twitchers, here is another chance for you to participate.

 

This bird should be an easy one to identify:

 

(question to the experts: is this a male or female?)

John, now you've outed yourself as an expert! :huh:

 

(or do you already have your new field guide?)

 

 

Rubbish! I was lucky :mellow:

 

No, my guide has not arrived yet.

 

I will look for a bird and post asap.

It was actually Predator's turn but I'm sure he doesn't mind. So...

 

Spotted Thick-knees? (I see two)

 

Or Jochencrocklepigs? :mellow:

As you photographers seemed to be running out of birds.....Just thought I'd add a happy snap or two!!

 

Aha! The Jochencrocklepig, not to be confused with the Rhinocrocklepig!

I promise you, I still have enough of them. I only have to find the right slides and scan them, and this takes some time...
