Field Notes

Description:

Very colourful. Green body. Blue chin/throat. Touch of red on head and above the beak.

Habitat:

I see it sometimes in the neighbourhood. This one was sitting on a Casurina tree...shot against the sun.

Notes:

Very wary, spots the camers being raised and flies off. Pleasant, if repititive, call.
