Maniacal Trio

We are very fortunate to see such a wide variety of birds on the compound. One of the quirkier visitors has to be the Eastern Grey Plantain-eaters. These large turacos are not brightly coloured but noticeable larger than most of the visitors to the garden as they perch precariously on the branches. They are vocal too – with loud ‘hoo hoo hoo’ sounds and a chattering call that builds to a maniacal laughter.

Today we had three birds in the garden and for once some good shots of our maniacal trio.
