Great image! I’ve been trying to find and photograph this beauty for years. Knysna Indigenous Forest? Any additional details would be awesome! I will be visiting friends in Mossel Bay in June. Just might be my chance! Once again, beautiful image. Bob Henderson

Hi Robert, thank you very much! I took this photo on a farm near Karatara, where I know the area and the comings and goings of the birds, so I just sat there and waited for them. If I was you I would look for them in Wilderness, there are a lot of them around the Ebb & Flow camping area in the forest. Hope that helps.

Thanks again for the advice. Ebb & Flow for sure! Bob :-)

Never seen a picture of this bird beforehand. Thank´s for sharing this excellent shot!
