I have found the best spot in Kruger to find temnick's coursers - There are about 10-15 of them, and these ones are ussualy active during the day for some reason, at the Mooiplaas waterhole, just east of Mopani, they are always there and I can garuntee a sighting of them in the late afternoon at this waterhole.

We saw quite a number of them running around in a very dry and sparsely grassed area just south of Letaba on the S46 in Feb this year.

We love the way they would puff out their chests every now and then. :D

During mid Dec'11 as we were travelling from Punda Maria to Mopani on the tar road H1-7, noticed this courser with its chick right next to the road.
