Indigobird 29/06/11

Sometimes the highlight of the day is a good view of a small bird and
his female. At mbuyu ya fenci we saw a little village indigobird with
the female close by. Actually at the beginning we spotted the female
and it took some time to identify her, and then the male popped out making
things easier. It is a small brood parasite, his victim the red billed
firefinch but the most interesting thing is that he is not able to
song his real parent song by instinct so not being raised by his real
parents and having only foster parents he just mimic the firefinch song.
Lions mating in the evening and a beautiful sunset.
