Buff-crested Bustard (Lophotis gindiana)
Samburu National Reserve
Kenya
East Africa
The buff-crested bustard (Lophotis gindiana) is a species of bird in the Otididae family. It is found in Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda.
A small bustard of thick brush in dry country. The male has a buff crest that is usually hidden, and both sexes have a black belly. Found in dry savanna and thorn scrub habitat with lots of bushes, unlike most bustards, which prefer grass-dominated habitats.
Like the Black-bellied and Hartlaub’s Bustards, but smaller, and prefers different habitats. Larger than Little Brown Bustard, with a black belly. The call is a rising and accelerating series of distressed-sounding notes that often precede the display: a quick flight up, then a plummet to the ground. Wikipedia
