~ When I spotted a mother Yellow-necked Spurfowl with chicks, I asked Anthony to stop for a few photos, despite the waning light. What I didn't expect was the sudden appearance of a male Kirk's Dik-dik who leaped into the camera frame and proceeded to make himself part of the photo story. The mother spurfowl remained calm, despite having a large camera lens pointed at her brood and a surprisingly curious male dik-dik who approached her for a closer look at her chicks. Such an improbable pairing resulted in this unusual photo series.
