4 Banded Sandgrouse.

The 4 Banded Sandgrouse gets its name from the male bird’s breast banding, however, this is a misnomer because the male in fact has only three breast bands. These birds are largely nocturnal in their habits and are usually only seen in the daytime when disturbed. This male bird exploded virtually from under my feet and landed a short distance away for a few seconds - just enough time for a shot!
