Speckled Mousebird
Colius striatus
-6.65828, 39.1724
Field Notes
Description:
Such cute birds, striking long tail, fluffy grey tuft on their head, red legs, brown to grey bodies, and always in gossiping groups.
Habitat:
Very common down east Africa, in most woodland scrub areas, and very common in gardens and urban areas.
Notes:
I love these birds, they are another 'common' variety, but so much fun. Always in little groups and always skylarking about and chatting endlessly. They are really delightful to watch.
