The Somali ostrich, also known as the blue-necked ostrich, was another new species for me. It was previously thought to be a subspecies of the common ostrich but was given its own distinct species designation in 2014. The males, like this one, have the blue neck and legs, which become even more blue during mating season. Photographed in Samburu National Reserve, Kenya. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 200, f/5.6 at 1/1600th of a second.
