221 : Blue-naped Mousebird


Blue-haped Mousebird - Urocolius macrourus

I didn't manage to get a decent picture of this delightfully named bird - relatives of the Trogons which are very exotic and waiting in the rain-forest for me at some point along with AK47 armed rebels, ebola and leaches. Deep joy. My perceptions need to change altogether if I am going to head into the congo. Some of my birds will not be within easy reach of an Oberoi hotel or a 5 star safari lodge.
