Red-collared Widowbird
Vedova dal collare rosso
(Euplectes ardens)

Immature male, the adult have a red neck.
Thanks for looking.
Andrea


ITALIANO:
Maschio immaturo. L'adulto ha il collo rosso. La femmina sembra un passero.
Resto sempre stupito da cosa incontro ad ogni viaggio, la natura è fantastica e supera di gran lunga la fantasia!

What a wonderful long tailed bird you've captured in his natural envoirement Andrea.
Great vertical composition with the bird in a lovely pose at the high grassess.
Technically flawless again with perfect sharpness and lighting.
The soft, very well matching, background colors and the feather details are very beautiful.
Great work. My compliments.
Thanks for sharing,
Have a nice day,
Harry

allora dobbiamo organizzarci sui commenti che devo lasaciare.....tendo ad essere ripetitivo se dico stupende?!?!? speriamo l'Africa arrivi per me entro 2-3 anni

Hi Andrea,
Lovely photo of this unusual specie. I expect the adult looks stunning with the long tail plumage.
This one is good and sharp with lots of detail. Good OOF background, colours well shown.
TFS,
Peter

What an amazing tail on this rather unusual bird.
Can't say that I have ever seen one before, so thanks for the introduction, Andrea.
You managed to frame that shot very well despite the very long tail feathers.
Great details and colors.
TFS. : )

Hi Andrea,
A fine capture of an unusual bird. Excellent detail stands out well against the BG. Nicely done.

Hi Andrea,
Great detail, color, DOF, POV, and exposure. Nice soft BG bokeh too..
And the vertical framing works so well with this bird for some reason ;-}}
Well done!

Hello Andrea,
What a splendid capture of this long-tailed bird! I'm amazed at the size of the bird compared to the size of the tail feathers.
Excellent composition showing great sharpness, lovely colours and a fine soft background. Well done!

Excellent composition, as well as light anbd BG.

Bella foto! Unico, mi pare, piccolissimo neo, forse qualche artefatto di troppo sulla foto (troppo sharp?).

Comunque un bello scatto con una ottima inquadratura.

Ciao e grazie, Emanuele

amazing pic, amazing bird, TFS Ori
