Perturbed Francolin (Pternistis swainsonii)

  • AHH
This francolin was sitting on the stump quite obviously distressed, calling and calling. Not sure what was bothering it though.
Scientific name
Pternistis swainsonii
Nice action shot, not quite as dramatic as your Stork shot, but two good images.

Don't often see these on an elevated perch. Looks like the feathers on his neck have been disturbed - something may have had a go at him. Great image!
