Spotted Wood Quail (Costa Rica)

[Glenn Bartley]

I was pretty stoked to get an opportunity to photograph this species in the highland of Costa Rica recently. I had only ever photographed one other Wood Quail in Ecuador so this was a real treat. I even shot some videos (see link below).

All the best!

Just what I was thinking, could imagine you not noticing it and tripping over it!
Great image, colours and definition are great
