Hi Twigga,

This one is a Red-crested Korhaan. \O The chevron markings on the back and lack of black on the neck. \O

Hreat choice for bird of the month, I'll dig out a pic or two to add to those already posted. \O

RP, Mel and Amoli \O

We had an amzing sighting of a Kori on the Lower Dune Road in the KTP in December 2008. As we came round a bend this bird took off and it was a Kori - always great to see one in flight but it had a snake in tow :shock:

It landed a distance from us but got one pic :-)

Sometimes it’s not until you don’t see what you want to see, that you truly open your eyes.
