Another Tryst with the Blue Throat

Posted on February 8, 2011

It is not difficult to spot the Blue Throat near the Ganda Nala (open drainage) but it is certainly a game of patience to wait for it to come out in the open, relatively speaking.

A Better View?

After 45 minutes of sitting patiently this is what I got. If I do not get to see the bird from an angle where the neck is exposed it is only because of the movements its presence can be sensed. Otherwise its brown color blends just well with the surroundings.

And then after an hour and fifteen minutes it decided to give me a better view by coming out relatively in the open. But then ain’t it pretty?
