Photo of the Day – The Papyrus Gonolek (Laniarius mufumbiri) gets its name from its specialised habitat requirements: it is restricted to papyrus swamps. While it isn’t considered to be a threatened species, it has become rare because of pollution and habitat loss. This is usually a difficult bird to observe, as it often lurks among the vegetation.

March 11, 2018 - Black-headed Gonolek (Laniarius erythrogaster)
These bushshrikes are found in parts of central Africa. Foraging alone or in pairs, they feed on insects and small fruits, along with some small vertebrates and bird eggs. They build cup-shaped nests in trees, where females lay clutches of around four eggs. Pairs sing duets, with males making loud, bell-like sounds and females responding almost immediately with harsh, raspy calls.
My other recent birds: polar owl, black-headed gonolek, european robin (oil pastel experiment).
