Pin tailed Wydah

One of our cutest and smallest birds, about the size of a male thumb. The male has three long gorgeous tail feathers and flies like an up and down wave movement with feathers blowing in the wind. Very shy and fast, not a frequent visitor so I was happy to get what I got.

What a cool looking bird! And thanks for the description, I wouldn't know it was that small!

He looks quite inquisitive.

Good shot- you folks in the Southern Hemisphere really have some fascinating birds! But then I guess you look at some of our woodpeckers here up North and think the same thing!

@olivetreeann You are so right Ann, there are all kinds stunning birds up country in the different provinces. Just too far away, same as all those wonderful ones overseas.
