139 : Small Minivet


Small Minivet - Pericrocotus cinnamomeus

I promised better pictures of a Minivet some time ago - on that occasion I had long range photos of an Orange Minivet on Sri Lanka. The colours on these birds are as good as they look. This is the 'Small' Minivet which is a different species but as the name says on the tin...


This bird showed itself in some old trees in a village inhabited by woodpeckers and hornbills.
