Field Notes

Description:

Red crown. and red beard. It looks very cross with big whiskers attached to his beak. It had a broad beak.

Habitat:

In the school- garden, surrounded by jungle and water and fields of grass.

Notes:

This bird was picking at the window of the school where I was working. It kept picking and then it would fly to the tree close by. But a bit later it would be back. It was midday.
