Sorry about skipping another day, but there was a lot going on yesterday, and I never had a good time with both connectivity and power. I did see more great birds, however, and I’ll be able to show them to you eventually. Today, Anne and I are flying to Comoros for the next phase of our trip, and here’s a darling black-and-white mannikin (Spermestes bicolor) to keep you company until I can post again. We saw bronze mannikins when we were here last October, but this is my first black-and-white.
For comparison, here’s another bronze from the same location.
