I really liked these birds. And this image shows how beautiful and interesting they are! My fellow travel mates ignored them.....their loss! LOL!

Whilst we have domesticated Guinea Fowl in the UK in various colour types the neck and head tends to be a continuation of the body colouring. The helmeted is certainly different .

Great shot of a super looking bird.

Nice capture of an odd looking, but fun bird. We had them running loose on the compound where I lived in Jeddah. They were always a treat.

Thanks, Karen. Strange how some ignores the common birds, ans they are often real winners.

Thanks Joe. Yes, there is always a fight between them for a split second or so, which I still have to catch!

Great shot of an interesting bird. Where I grew up in the southeastern USA "guinea hens" are quite common on small farms. They are left to run loose and make effective "watch dogs" around chicken coops. They roost off the ground and raise quite a fuss when fox, racoons, etc, come into the yard. But I've never seen this exotic looking variety.

It's interesting how many people have tunnel vision when on a shoot. I suppose they would say they're "focused"
