Birds of East Africa
Black Bellied Bustard
I spotted this black bellied bustard at the same time as a young lioness in Ol Pejeta Conservancy. It was funny to see her stalk the bird despite the fact that it was well aware that it was being watched. She tried to pounce on it but it flew away well before she had a chance to catch it. It was my third species of bustard that I had spotted in Ol Pejeta.
