A Mousebird

enjoying the morning sun on his belly. They really do lie this way in trees and bushes.

What a weird bird - I guess he doesn't think so1 Red knuckles and grey tufted head!

A beautiful bird and an excellent capture. What a sensible thing to do if you want to warm up your underparts. I haven't seen this bird before. Fav.

I think he looks cute!
Looks like he is having a nap :)

Think I'll come back as a sun worshipping mousebird!! Great shot ( as usual from you!!) You must be a stealth photographer as they never seem to be aware of you.
