Pygmy Cuckooshrike in Andasibe Like most wildlife in Madagascar, they are only reasonably described in (old) books, but very poorly described online. It took me over an hour to match this bird spotting in the Andasibe forest to the Pygmy Cuckooshrike specie, and I'm still not 100% sure.

    You are getting quite handy with the blurring tool:) I do believe the trouble it takes to ID exotic less spotted species. Respect for a one hour hunt! Posted 12 years ago
