Taken in the Timbavati area of SA, these birds seem to keep their distance for me, compared top young Stu B. I always feel they look unkempt & rather scruffy when they ruffle their feathers. Shot from our jeep whilst resting on a bean bag and the rest of me wedged in the passenger seat to get a better and more stable POV.
I left the cobwebs in.
Thanks to those who posted or viewed on the last posting.
