Temminck's Courser

(cursorius temminckii)
This is a small plainish courser which is usually found in semi arid sparsely grassed areas and in areas which have been recently burned. It is an intra-Africa migrant following the rains. This bird was unexpectedly found on a roadside verge on the outskirts of the sizeable town of Tsumeb.
