The lark was displaying....climbs steeply with trailing legs in aerial display, clapping its wings and then parachutes down giving a long ascending whistle . The ID was the easy part,...capturing the photo was another story.

824. Southern Red Bishop Euplectes orix

We are just back from the KTP. We spent a wonderful 22 days there. Even though I thought it was a bit impossible I have managed to add another two birds to my Kgalagadi List . The first one was a Southern Red Bishop seen at the unelectrified campsite at Twee Rivieren on the 03/01/2023. :)
