Evening Prinia (Prinia Gracilis)

My last shot before the sun went down. Having heard the Prinia's call I searched and searched and eventually found him! Or her..? I think these lovely little birds are Energizer battery powered, this one was zipping around the bush like there was no tomorrow.

"Energizer battery powered" could not have a better description. i hear them everyday but i don't see them. last one i saw was after the rain we had in December and it was a young one, so less active then there parents.
 
Great shot in that late day sun Francesca. Such loud little birds you would never think such a little bird could make so much noise.
