[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Brown Babbler is a very common bird in Gambia. In the gardens of Senegambia beach you wil find many of them around. The babbler is a vocal and sociable thrush-like bird which congregate in small groups and continually chatter to each other to keep contact. Insectivorous, they feed mostly on the ground but seek refuge in trees or reedbeds. All are very distinct and easy identifiable. Five species occur, two of which are endemic.

Good DOF, unfortunately the high light did not manage to get to the entire subject. Nice take though.

I like your bird's pictures, they're always sharp, very well composed and with a very nice light. The background on this one is smooth and beautiful, the bird is posed on it like a jewel! We see all the details of the feathers of this babbler (that I had never heard of!), they almost look like scales. Thank you Zeno,

Francine
