Great stuff - you are flying again -179, I must get working :)

The Chinspot Batis is a real beauty - I had never heard of it!

Thanks @@TonyQ, although I hardly feel that thirteen additional birds in more than a month can be called flying.

 

The three species of Batisses found here are all very pretty but very tiny little birds. They make up for it by not being quite as shy as most birds their size, although they do tend to spend most of their time inside trees, where it is difficult to see them, and I usually find them by sound, as they are a little like teenage girls, never shutting up for a moment...

Some beauties again, especially the Chinspot Batis ans the Spotted Thick-knee! I am in Spain at the moment, working on my yearlist :). I've seen quite a few, but not too many photos. The birds here don't seem too keen on having their picture taken. But I have some more time, so....
