Field Notes

Description:

Small and lively bird, difficult to capture on a photo. Pale underparts and streaked upper parts.

Habitat:

Grasslands of Nairobi NP.

Notes:

This one was really difficult to ID, as these two were the only usable shots from that birding trip... However, if there are any doubts, please feel free to comment...
And many thanks to Srdjan Cuturilov for all help in IDing this (and many other birds I photographed).
