Thanks for showing again an interesting species, that unfortunately I have never seen myself. Nice pose, and the surroundings work well in this image for me. Like it ! Cheers, Hans

A speies I've previously only seen stuffed, mounted and used in a falconry exhibit. An interesting bird and a very good photo. The bird is unobstructed, and shows very well. You usual impeccable techs. Excellent, Ken.

A very nice shot with a great pose, Ken. I find it interesting that this bird employs the same kind of feather pattern arrangement as the Australian bustard and it's one I haven't seen in other birds. Neat that it's so typical of the bustards.
