A while back I posted my favourite sight of an Indian Roller Bird

>
> On a walk earlier this week: Grey Francolin Partridge family Myna Bird I got a video of the Indian Roller Bird in flight, but my phone camera just isn’t good enough to capture its stunning colours, so here’s a Google image of what I see rofl

Well, today on one of my rare runs 🏃🏼‍♀️ I found this little beauty. A good luck charm for me I think 🩵💙💚 and now I’m giving it to you 😊

One of our stowaways. We had a little green finch. I couldn’t get any photos.

Stowaways are fun! 😆

Yes I love owls 🦉 especially when you see their actual bodies underneath feathers. The funniest thing 😂

I thought these were pretty cool too: Madagascan Nightjars. They sleep on forest floor during the day because they are so well camouflaged. It took me a long time to see them - it’s like one of those magic picture images where you have to relax your eyes to see what’s there! There is a mated pair in this photo - can you spot them?!

My photos are nowhere near yours for quality but I had a go! 😆

It was hard to find and I’m not 100 percent certain.

Madagascar looks fun! Thanks for sharing.

Haven’t been out for nearly 2 months unfortunately. The place I normally visit is off limits due to H5 Bird Flu. Desperately hoping to get out with the camera elsewhere soon.
