One of my target species, we had searched for this locally common bird in dense bushes along the Zambezi and around my tent at Bangweulu Swamps where a small party had been seen. Just when I thought that we wouldn’t see one, this bird popped out from dense bushes onto a branch in order to have its photo taken!
