Seeing this large bird with the gigantic tail sit in a tree above us was definitely a highlight of a good birding day.

Gosh!! It always amazes me how such big birds can sit in trees like that ... and with those long tails, you'd think the branches and foliage would really hamper their movements , wouldn't you.

A great picture Niels - very well done lad.
