ORIOLE WARBLER / KOTU / GAMBIA - a photo on Flickriver

            FIVE HOURS AT DIFFERENT TIMES TRYING TO CAPTURE THIS BEAUTY, A LIFER FOR ME!, it was skulking  on the ground in tangled thickets and old mangrove stumps, kept seeing a flash of yellow, but never the complete bird, have so many head images, and this was the best! 20 Cm in length, with this curiously silvered black head, a very vulnerable bird in the Gambia, as to loss of dense and damp freshwater habitats.  

         Hope you all had a good weekend, and all the mums got spoiled! thank you for your visit, all comments are very appreciated.. ..............Tomx
