Long Tailed Windowbird (Male)

[Craig Kerr]

This time of the year there are many Windowbirds out in the grasslands looking for a mate. Those long tails must be a huge hindrance to their flying ability. :-)

Hi Craig, well exposed on the blacks, and I like the flying posture showing off the tail nicely. Great BG too. Rietvlei.
