There are four Grey Francolins in this photo. Two are obvious, and a third fairly clear, but I didn’t notice the fourth until I was processing the photo and looking closely at it.
I first saw this batch of francolins driving home from work. They were in the road and I stopped while the adults ran off. I was about to start moving again when I noticed a tiny lump in the road ahead. A small rock? A lump of dirt? Turned out it was a baby francolin, about three inches high. My pause allowed it to rejoin it’s parents and, tiny legs or not, that sucker could run!

They are when you get close to their nest.

The chicks are very cute, the adults less so as they’re very loud and will scratch up a lawn or garden quite quickly.

That would be something! Every so often, snakes are seen, presumably escaped pets or released by their owners.
