Spotting the Knysna Loorie

in birds •  7 years ago 

I have always hear and read about these but this was the first time for me to see and photograph one.

Its head and chest is emerald green with a deep blue body and tail

The wings are blood red so the bird displays very striking colors as it flies. This portion of the forest was quite thick so you can see the difficulty of getting a clear shot, as it hopped around, amid the leaves of the forest canopy.

The easiest way to identify the Knysna Lourie from other green turacos is by the white tip on its rounded crest...

One of the great pictures I have seen. Very rare species of this species are seen in many places of the earth.
