Helmeted guineafowl (Numida meleagris). This bird possesses a horny "helmet" (black, top centre) on the top of its head, which varies in shape according to where it lives. Its original habitat was savannah, open forests and rocky regions, but it is now widespread in and around cultivated land. This guineafowl feeds on a variety of plant and animal foods, including seeds, berries, snails, millipedes and termites. It is the ancestor of the modern domesticated guineafowl, having been introduced into Europe by the Romans. Photographed in Tanzania
