Speckled Mousebird in Kigali this morning

 This beautiful Speckled Mousebird (Colius striatus) gave me a perfect moment this morning, first perched proudly on a cable with its trademark crest and extra-long tail, then gliding into flight with its wings glowing in the soft Kigali sunrise.

Kigali’s everyday wildlife never ceases to amaze me. 

📍 Kigali, Rwanda
