Bar-backed Partridge

This is my first lifer of the Partridge species (Arborophila brunneopectus 28 cm). I managed to photograph it at the Kaeng Krachan National Park in Thailand. The photos were captured using the Canon Eos 1 D mk4 with EF 800 Is lens.





Thanks for viewing.

    I was so excited when I saw it came out of the forest edge. We had to stay quiet in our blind, it was very alert to human activities.
