The very first thing we notice about this large member of the Galliformes is that there is a wild version and a domestic version, and although the two are rather different, they are both given the same species name, Meleagris gallopavo.

Most of the time it’s sheer luck or coincidence that determines what you will see – I saw my first Black Redstart outside a meeting room in France, for example. My Kenya list of 69 species consists entirely of birds I saw during business trips to Nairobi. You can favour fortune, be bold and pick your hotel wisely.
