This little bird is endemic to Namibia and lives only in the Namib Desert. I found this individual while on a three-mile hike through the dunes; that's why
I had my 100-400 instead of 600/4! Sun was a bit high in the late-morning, but I made it work given the hella rare subject. I went with the wide crop to
1) show habitat and 2) avoid IQ loss with a tighter view. Again, I woulda murdered this bird with my 600 + 1.4, but that was a trade I was willing to make.
