Say's Phoebe (Sayornis saya)

More additions to the trip list on that last, short walk before take-off. This Say's Phoebe looked a bit darker than others I've seen before. Perhaps sooty from city living? Or maybe sooty-coloured ones have better survival rates in the city while the more straw-colored ones do better in the grasslands where I saw them first?

Well, this isn't one we see coming in too often Ann! It's nearly a year since the last picture came into the Gallery.

A lovely pose you got too. Well done lass.
