This November, I had the good fortune of making my first trip to Africa.  Bird photography was challenging in crowded vehicles where few people were interested in stopping for birds.  I yelled at the driver to stop for this one as he was perched closer than usual.  The shutter speed was high because of the moving animals.  Luckily the bird perched for a few seconds.

Canon 5dmark3
100-400mm II
ISO 6400

Great catch under the circumstance, Elizabeth!
Would suggest vertical and apply NR to bg.
