I was just sitting on a bushtoilet somewhere in Tanzania when I spotted this bird. As always I grabbed my camera and took this snapshot. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw all those colours....

What a variety of colours you caught here Zeno. Quick action shot from you. It has beautiful colouring. Good catch.
And now Pam has given you the data on it, you'll be able to look them up and add them to your notes.

Truly amazing colors on this gorgeous bird. Great shot, Zeno. : )

This is the Green-winged Pytillia (Melba Finch). Here is the reference site I used, Finches of the World. Stunning colours. It must make it so easy for birds of prey to see them. Very good shot. Soft on focus, but who cares. It's a beauty.

色彩鮮艷的小鳥, 我喜歡, 感謝分享,
well done,

Hi Zeno, You are already among my favorites. You have fantastic bird captures. I just loved each one of your pictures around the world. I also love to spot birds and I have just started taking pictures! I am already thinking of a super tele converter...This bird is fantastic, beautiful colours. Well, the moment wasn't very romantic...and I see you really love your camera...Well done. IŽll try to have mine in toilet too...maybe I can also spot a beautiful creature like this.
