Cape Spurfowl or Francolin (Pternistis capensis)

I grew up with these endemic birds to not only South Africa, but more specific the Western Cape and Northern Cape provinces, mainly along the coastal regions or inland of them.

Large bird, mid-size chicken, without the long legs. They tend to be within the thickets and rarely open for long enough to take pictures, but do frequent gardens, especially where protection is abundant.

The fine beautiful patterns on the body feathers are visible at close range, with bold white stripes on the flanks.

Perfection!
