LOL that is a bit of a boring name for such a beautifully marked bird, isn't it Max.

A super picture that lad - many thanks for letting us see him.

Lol, great caption! Such a stunning species strutting its stuff. The name does not seem very fitting, besides a bird this gorgeous should have an equally attractive name. Great bit of photography Max! TFS!
 
much more attractive than the name would suggest indeed, Max, marvelous photo of this beautiful francolin, top quality work, many tfs!!!
