Fantastic! One of my childhood favorites! :loveme: I always loved watching how one male would perch up high to hold guard over his flock; how the flock made sort of "burbling" noises down below, I assume to keep him apprised of their whereabouts; and how the little chicks almost looked like their rolling rather than running in a row among the females whenever they had to cross open ground. So much fun to watch! And so lovely close-up like this :D
