The Singing Bokmakierie (Telophorus Zeylonus)

I visited my grandfather a week or two ago. He lives close to the bush or forest and this beautiful bird sings early in the morning! But this is the first time I have seen them. They are very loud and they sound like the bush or forest to me. This is a stunning looking bird, but they are so shy. In the 10 years that I have been "birding", this is the first time I have seen on. So please enjoy this beautiful bird which is unique to Southern Africa!
