Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running...... "If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you." | |||

I was recently PG hunting in Namibia and I did not see a large volume of birds, but many were beautiful. What country were these shot in? | |||

Birds can be tricky to pin down in a specific area as some are migratory and move around quite a bit depending on time of the year. If you were in Namibia then you probably could have hunted different species of Sandgrouse. | |||

That was awesome. Do you have the various sandgrouse species? "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||

@Nakihunter Thanks glad you liked the birds. So there are 16 species of sandgrouse in the entire world. 1) Pin-tailed Sandgrouse 2) Namaqua Sandgrouse 3) Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse 4) Spotted Sandgrouse 5) Black-bellied Sandgrouse 6) Crowned Sandgrouse 7) Yellow-throated Sandgrouse 8) Burchell's Sandgrouse 9) Masked Sandgrouse 10) Black-faced Sandgrouse 11) Lichtenstein's Sandgrouse 12) Double-banded Sandgrouse 13) Painted Sandgrouse 14) Four-banded Sandgrouse 15) Tibetan Sandgrouse 16) Pallas's Sandgrouse I have been very fortunate to have hunted various sandgrouse species both in Asia as well as in Africa. Some sandgrouse pics I took in the wild.    | |||

Thanks for the pics. The last one looks a bit like the common sand grouse we get in South India. They were less mottled and had a collar & a bib if I remember correctly. I remember my dad shooting them in 1967!!! I was just a kid then. "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||
