Yellow Necked Spurfowl

These two were not very cooperative in getting into grass free (almost) areas, this is the best I got.

Net looking birds. Are they in the Francolin family. Nice natural setting. Good exposure too.

Hi David,

Well I would say so but my book says "superficially similar to francolins, but not closely related"

Hi Ken, another spurfowl that Ive never seen before. The grasses arent too busy not to see their colours, and I feel going lower wouldnt have worked out. :w3

[Robert Holguin]

Very nice shot. Lovely colors on the birds and I personally like the habitat.
Well done.
