On my way out of the Kruger Park a few weeks back, I came across this lone Crested Francolin in the road. Normally they are fairly skittish, but this fellow decided to hang around while I managed a few shots. The BG is the gravel road. I didnt want to waste time on adding convertors to have a closer shot, so I decided my 300mm lens on its own would be fine.
