Long-Tailed Widow Bird (Male)

[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
I have captured this 'Long-Tailed Widow Bird π¦'(Euplectes progne) at Marieval Bird π¦ Sanctuary early in the morning . Due to its big tail, it's very difficult to frame.
It's a male one and it looks he is very proud of his gorgeous tail π. Due to bit cloudy β
weather light wasn't such great but enough to get a decent picture βΊ.
Adult breeding males are almost entirely black with orange - red and white shoulders.
This species found in Angola π¦π΄, Botswana π§πΌ, Kenya π°πͺ, Lesotho π±πΈ, Swaziland πΈπΏ, Zambia πΏπ² etc. |

Hi Srikumar,
I was hoping for exactly such a picture from a Widow Bird: its long tail ondulating in flight, you caught it so well, congratulations. In the iconography of the Egyptian Old Empire you find winged and feathered Snakes. I always saw in this an allusion to Widow birds (don't take it serious, I'm no egyptologist).
Greetings, Dieterich
Hello Srikumar,
eye-catchingly dynamic capture of this exquisite long-tailed bird in the dim light of early morning.
Congratulations for you patience and success. Thank you!
With best regards,
Peter
