The female by ludwigsdiana

The female

red bishop, but the males originally look the same before they get their breeding colours.

I will continue the rest of the week with the amazing change in the male's plumage. the shots are taken at the dam on our olive grove. Unfortunately, they are very far in the reeds and difficult to shoot.
This is wonderful! I like the stripes on her head and body.

Very nice shot of her! She can hide for nesting well.

The ones you have shown us so far are remarkable and it’s so difficult to believe this female is the same species

A lovely shot!

A sweet capture, Diana! Great clarity and a nice soft dof to show us her streaked markings. I love how she appears to be gazing far off! Fav

Fabulous shot. I have never managed to capture the red bishops - only see them along the road, not in our little village
