Pied Fantail

by BESG | posted in: Morphology-Develop., Species | 0

“This is one of two resident Pied Fantails (Rhipidura javanica longicauda) and one of our frequent joys every day.

“Friendly birds that allow close observations and love to bathe in our bird bath.

“We call this the ‘Fu Manchu’ look.”
