The long-tailed widowbird is a medium-sized bird and one of the most common in the territories it inhabits.

When flying, male long-tailed widowbirds are readily visible due to their extremely long tails. Between six and eight of their twelve tail feathers are approximately half a metre (approximately 20 inches) long. The tail during flight display is expanded vertically into a deep, long keel below the male as he flies with slow wingbeats 0.5 to 2 metres (20 to 78 inches) above his territory.

You can see these beautiful starlings pretty much everywhere in Kenya. Very easy to spot and nice to look at because of their shiny blue feathers and reddish-brownish belly.

 

In Naivasha, they seemed very used to seeing people as well and were not frightened at all.

 

Some of my pics are also on stock.
