Bishop

Bishop spotted on the mine last Saturday

I've been trying to ID this bird and have come up with one possibility, a Black Bishop. It's locally common in Kenya and Northern Tanzania. I never saw bishops in Kenya; I'm still getting to know these here on the mine.

  1. Fabulous colours, Jo.
    I was just thinking about you, and thinking it's too early for you to have posted anything yet, but there you are, having posted a photo at 4:30am. Do you ever sleep?
    Hope you and Grant and the cats continue to be well.
    Luv, K
