I've birded on an off since I was six. I've visited over 40 countries, not all for birding sadly and lived in the middle east, North Africa, Great Britain, Trinidad and the United States. I'm an avid sound recorder and have posted thousands of recordings on Xeno-canto (http://www.xeno-canto.org/recordist.php?id=PWDLINYMKL) and my photos are on my Flicker page (http://www.flickr.com/photos/madbirder). I now guide for Birdtour Asia. |

Could find no other photos of this fabulous species on Surfbirds. This one's a female as told by the small purple patch on the throat pouch.
