Twinspots

i

I do not often post bird pictures on this channel (as I have a separate birding quiz channel), but I thought these two pictures merit a post.

I captured the images of these Pink-throated Twinspots (top: male / bottom: female) as we were in the middle of a Lion sighting!

The little birds are named Twinspots because every single feather – with the white spots – has exactly two of them .

For birding enthusiasts observing these small seed-eaters is a very special treat and my guests were surprised that I was even more excited about them than about the four young Lions.
