Long-tailed Widowbird (Euplectes progne)

Do you remember my post about this bird getting dressed for sex… here’s a link if you missed it… I said I was going to try and capture its flight pattern when it shows off its plumage… well today Linda and I went out and tried .. this is what we got, and we will get better but just thought I’d share a few… little blurred, the wind was howling today…

BUT THE BIRDS SEEMED TO BE SAYING “LOOK AT ME LADIES, AREN’T I PRETTY ???”

REMEMBER ME!!!!!!

WELL HERE’S A FEW OF ME FLYING WITH THE LONG THING ATTACHED TO MY END… BUT THE LADIES DO LOVE IT….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sentinel Rock Thrush..

The Sentinel Rock Thrush (Monticola explorator)

It’s found in Lesotho, South Africa, and Swaziland. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland.

Now I don’t know much about this bird and have only seen it once, so I will show you the photos I managed to capture and hope that it is in actual fact the Sentinel Rock-thrush and not the Cape Rock-thrush or the Short-toed Rock-thrush… so any experts out there feel free to assist me here if you so wish…
