This little guy was having a blast feeding on a mountain side. Saw this effect on a web site and thought I would try and do it. Took the shutter speed up and got him when he was taking off.

The Common Tailorbird (Orthotomus sutorius) is a songbird found across tropical Asia. Popular for its nest made of leaves "sewn" together and immortalized by Rudyard Kipling in his Jungle Book, it is a common resident in urban gardens. Although shy birds that are usually hidden within vegetation, their loud calls are familiar and give away their presence. They are distinctive in having a greenish upper body plumage, long upright tail and the rust coloured forehead and crown. This passerine bird is typically found in open farmland, scrub, forest edges and gardens. Tailorbirds get their name from the way their nest is constructed. The edges of a large leaf are pierced and sewn together with plant fibre or spider silk to make a cradle in which the actual nest is built.

The Common Zebra is gorgeous. They have broader stripes than their cousins, and when they are young, they have tinges of brown that later turns to black. They keep on the lookout for one another, so you will often see them facing in opposite directions...each looking for lions in different directions. Zebra butts look like French Braids to me.
