Grey Francolin - Francolinus pondericerianus
Caught one of these comical little partridges skulking in some roadside vegetation today when I was looking for a Bluethroat without any success. There you go - every birding cloud has silver lining. These take over where pheasants leave off in these parts. They can really motor on two legs when startled.
I was out birding with my mate Spencer and his Dad last week and I got the impression that in Africa this is one for the pot. They do look tasty.
