In the absence of many recent images fit to post here, I have looked back at some older images.
This was taken whilst on a mobile safari in Khwai Community Reserve, Botswana in 2010.

What an amazing bird Ken, one of the nice things for this forum is that every now and then somebody shows species unknown to me. And a great shot as well, I like the raised foot ! Great ! Hans
