Helmet Vanga couple, Marojejy, Madagascar
Nature always rewards when you try the least. We were just trying to get down the Marojejy mountain, when we came across this Helmet Vanga couple. I'm quite happy with it, can't find a single photo online of two in the same frame.
The helmet vanga is a distinctive-looking bird of the vanga family, Vangidae, and is classified in its own genus, ''Euryceros''. It is mainly blue-black, with rufous wings and a huge arched blue bill. It is restricted to lowland and lower montane rainforests of northeastern Madagascar. Its diet is composed of invertebrates, predominantly insects.
