Yet another "lifer" from Uganda, hardly surprising considering it is confined to a fairly small area. Took this one in Kidepo National Park, Uganda, a very very fine place.

Beautiful bird and excellent "calling" pose. Love the colours, detail and perch/habitat.

Sweet when you guys post birds I'll likely never see.. thanks!

Sandy and Claude,

Thanks very much for your kind comments, which are much appreciated. My only real purpose in photography is to take images to share, and hopefully publicise the places I visit

Congrats on the lifer Ken. I really like the pose and think the thorny perch adds a lot of interest.
