Pin-tailed Whydah 針尾維達鳥

787 Pin-tailed Whydah 針尾維達鳥 male breeding plumage
Mai Po 米埔 (Hide 3)
29/7/2003
Tech stuff:
Canon 10D, 600MM + 1.4, ISO200, AV, 1/350, f6.7, -1/3.



As this is an African native bird, so presumably it must be an escaped bird. Curiously though the tail is in fine condition, the owner must have kept it well! May be there is a better explaination.

I also saw a pin-tailed whydah at Mai Po scrape on 25th May - presumably this is the same bird.
 
On that date, it had not grown the long tail feathers, which would explain why they appear to be in such good condition now.

WOW! 想不到這個夏天也會有意外的驚喜!
 
中文名稱:針尾維達鳥,只產於非洲。
 
據手上的資料說,維達鳥是文鳥和黃胸織布鳥的近親,而且和噪鵑一樣,自己不築 巢,把蛋產在梅花雀科的鳥類巢中。
 
《香港及華南鳥類》文鳥科(212頁)條中也有提及。
