LONG-TAILED GLOSSY STARLING // LAMPROTORNIS CHALCURUS (54cm)

GAMBIA FEB 2019

===============

HATE putting man made items in a image, but this bird is difficult enough , and this image showed of its tail feathers and the wonderful colors, A real stunning bird, Very wary and noisy bird, always in groups of about 4 to 10, a forest bird, forages on the ground, standing with tail held well up, its flight always seems laboured but powerful, with deep wing-beats creating an audible rush of air at close range.

==================================================

THANK YOU for your visit and kind comments.

Am having all sorts of problems with my laptop, please bare with me a while longer. God bless...................................Tomx
