African Orange-breasted Parrot - female
We were approaching Yabello when our guide Bereket, heard this female parrot calling from within a small tree as we were passing in our vehicle, so he stopped the car and we wandered over towards a small copse of trees until we eventually located the bird with its wonderful camouflage.
