Have sent the Boubou on for comment...just to make sure! Ironically, my Mom also launched an enquiry as to the "new melodious birds" in our garden in Pta! :shock:
Thanks RP - Await the outcome with anticipation.

Thanks every body else for your comments.

We have seen this guy in our garden once before and now I could not believe my luck as he sat beautifully for me while I took these photos today.

I had to go to a funeral this morning, and afterwards we went to the old age home next door for tea and cake. There were bird feeders in the garden and suddenly a flock of Rosyfaced Lovebirds appeared!! :shock: A first for me!! ;-)

An absolutely terrible pic - I really need to upgrade my phone :O^ - but still proof! O:V
