Orange-breasted Bushshrike

Orange-breasted Bushshrike

We were out early on our final morning at Akagera National Park birding around the lodge and hill slopes from 06:00. The sun was shining and we obtained excellent views of a beautiful Orange-breasted (also known as Sulphur-breasted) Bushshrike. This is a fairly widespread and common species in acacia.
