  1. It is clearly not a spectacular picture but I have never witnessed such a shy bird, for those who want to live the adventure here beneath a record of I have made.

    Sorry for the imperfection, you can hear from time to time the wire of my Zoom IQ7 hitting the micro, and if you are patient enough, you will hear the loud call of The Ross's turaco.
    Hope it can help those of you who would love to live the adventure.
