Kori bustards are the world’s heaviest flying birds. That said, they are almost always on the ground. This Kenyan pair was doing a bit of a low-key mating dance as they preened themselves and circled each other. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor Z 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 320, f/4 at 1/1250th of a second.
What a strange looking bird – looks like a combination of an ostrich (feathers), woodpecker head, turkey tail feathers & the neck feathers look like a bird, but I can not put my finger on it, lol
