Pin-tailed Whydah



Bird photography is an art of its own, and a highly competitive field. I don't intend competing, but I was rather pleased with these pictures taken with my point and shoot camera.
This is Vidua macoura. What an amazing tail. The male is an aggressive little thing, chasing off other birds. He has several wives, who parasitise the Common waxbill (KN).
