Northern Red Bishop (Euplectes franciscanus) Saw a number of red bishops but this was the only one I could get any sort of picture of. The Gambia was a bit of a disaster as halfway through the trip I ruined my camera with sea water.

Northern Red Bishop (Euplectes franciscanus)

Saw a number of red bishops but this was the only one I could get any sort of picture of. The Gambia was a bit of a disaster as halfway through the trip I ruined my camera with sea water.
