The kori bustard is the largest flying bird in Africa. This one was putting on quite a courtship display, puffing out those neck feathers, although we never saw who he was performing for as he walked around strutting his stuff in a big, seemingly empty field. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 720, f/5.6 at 1/2000th of a second.

What a great capture, Sean!
Oh my. Takes a lot of energy to do what he’s doing, and he looks like he has a goiter! But….whatever turns you on I guess!
He must just like to show off! If you’ve got, flaunt it!
