It is not very often that I take an image of this bird, I have them in my back garden!
However when they get on a perch, which is rare then it is worth a try.
Taken in Khwai Community Reserve, Botswana.

They do make a good burglar alarm, don't they. The dead tree makes for a good perch for this "yard" bird.
