Bokmakierie

(telophorus zeylonus)
The Bokmakierie is a species of Bush-Shrike which is (almost) endemic to arid parts of SW Africa. They are often found in pairs singing a characteristic duet song. Two of the images in this set are unfortunately of a recent road kill victim but they nicely illustrate the plumage details.
