This photo was taken during a trip to South Africa in 2014. I spotted this beautiful bird when we were in Addo Elephant Park when we stopped to look at a view from a lookout high in the park. It came and landed on a tree just outside the car and stayed there for some photos.An ideal photo opportunity.Time

It was a lovely, clear, sunny day for our visit to the park.Equipment
