What I believe to be a male, calls in response to a distant call.
A rather large crop.

I really like the calling pose here Ken. Doesn't look like this was an easy one to get your lens on with all the vegetation in the surrounding environment, so nice job.

Nice calling pose. Was the bird wet?

Wet? In the Kalahari? Excellent behavioral capture, Ken. Not too much detail lost to the crop.

Thanks everybody, this was an awkward shot to get, after the rainy season the Central Kalahari is green and the vegetation grows in the most awkward places, bit it is our preferred time to visit (April).
