Look at my Pretty face!
Look at my Pretty face!

Explored 470 - 2012-04-24

Helmeted Guineafowl's are pretty common all over East Africa but not very easy to photograph.
They are ever busy feeding and dart from one spot to the other very quickly and also they tend to be afraid of close human activity and move off as soon as they see you approaching.
Normally they are seen in flocks of 5-20 and in most cases walk along the road moving off as soon as they hear a car approaching.
