Photographed in Selous Game Reserve. The French couple I was with really loved these birds and so I was obligated to take pictures of them too. Unfortunately none in flight unless we were moving.

A very pretty bird, you should have been happy to take its photograph.

Haha I am now. Was never into photographing birds until the two French people. They had a seemingly unhealthy fascination with Giraffes too. Sometimes it takes other people to make you see things you never saw before.
