Exclamatory Paradise Whydah.

The Exclamatory Paradise Whydah (phew that’s a mouthful) is a spectacular bird of the open Savannah. The males have incredible tails, their bodies are only 12.5cms but their tails are 27.5cms. The males rise high up in to the air and then descend waving their tales to display to the females. They are very shy birds perching high up in tall trees and it takes some effort to even get a shot.

It’s worth it though to record these amazing birds.
