Early in the day, on our way out of Kruger Park - but had to stop for photos of this helmeted guineafowl perched on a tree stump, catching the first morning rays. Lovely, warm light, but the downside is a slow shutter speed. You can't leave the vehicle, so no chance of a tripod. I'll be honest, this photo could be sharper, but I believe the lighting and guinea's pose make up for that. There are a couple of different angles available which I'll be happy to email you as thumbnails if you'd prefer other options.
