Wildlife can be very wary of humans so it's an advantage to be out early in the morning before other vehicles have travelled along the roads. We were the first vehicle on this road and managed to capture this secretary bird as it walked along fairly close to where we parked. Canon EOS-40D with 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS lens.
