Blue Waxbill - Uraeginthus angolensis
http://www.theflacks.co.za/birds/blue-waxbill/
One of my earliest childhood memories is seeing these exquisite birds at a waterhole, while on holiday in the lowveld. Their piercing sree-seee-seee call and beautiful, powder blue colouration make them an unforgettable part of their dry woodland and savanna habitats.
I was able to sneak up on a pair of them recently, while birding the gardens surrounding our chalet in Kololo Game Reserve.
Location: Waterberg, South Africa
Date taken: 01 August 2015
ISO 400 / f6.3 / 1/3200 / -0.3 / Removed small white grass in BG / Increased vibrancy
