Spotted Prinia

Spotted Prinia, originally uploaded by andiwolfe.

Oct 12, 2010 - an early morning stroll on John and Jane Wessel's property in Wilderness, South Africa. It was a cold, but sunny morning - perfect for doing some nature photography with the low angle of the sun illuminating the birds.

Spotted Prinias are usually so active that it's hard to get a good photo of one. On this particular morning, the temperature was cold enough to keep the bird from flitting away as I approached. I thought that was rather nice of him.
