  6. Well done Carole! Cisticola can be obliging at times. And isn't it great when 2 petite species hang around together for a photo!?

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
