Grey Go Away Bird

Funny name for a bird. Another photo from my trip to Namibia last month.
I wonder if it is pesky annoying bird. Love the name :)

What a funny little bird too - he sort of looks like a little old man - don't quite know why? Your photo is lovely with all of the grey tones.

@hermann You do wonder where the name came from.
@islambad I guess you don't have to have all the bright colours to be attractive.
@robz Maybe it is the feathery topknot?
@paul10 He does have a lovely long tail which you can't see in this photo. But I did rather like the way he was standing and his posture.
Thanks so much for commenting.

This is the bird that alerts all the animals that we are there...hence the name (I believe that is correct).

@littleconnie Thanks Connie - that's one of the things I rather liked about this image. He looks as though he is really owning his surroundings!
