Wild Times

Francolin's were on my target list, but I was quite surprised at how common they were in the area around our villa near Polis. On a few occasions, I narrowly avoided hitting a beautiful male as it flew across the track down to the villa. Being quite late in the season, the fields had been harvested which I guess provided less cover for them to hide in. This said, I found them difficult to get good close images as they were very secretive and skittish, running for any available cover as soon as they spotted the car.
