Early morning, warm Kalahari light. The Kori Bustard is the heaviest flying bird and endangered.

Great light and good sharpness, a beautiful bird.

Great bird and I like the grass BG. Looks like the light is still a bit harsh at this time of the morning - southern hemisphere problem I guess. Typical Bustard look over their shoulder pose. I may give the bird a bit more room.

An interesting looking bird. It looks more like a runner than a flyer. I like the look back pose and soft earthy colors. I am fine with the composition, but if you were to add I would only add to top and left side.

Thanks for the comments. I agree, the thighs are a little hot-I mean the highlights
