Rosy-throated Longclaw juvenile

Rosy-throated Longclaw juvenile

In the early evening, we visited another grassland area where there had been extensive burning, something that is common in Zambia. This area was highly productive and we spent a couple of hours identifying longclaws, pipits and larks. Rosy-throated Longclaw was a highlight which was the last of three target longclaw species that we wanted to see.
