EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about high-wire acrobatics! This Yellow-billed Babbler is taking birdwatching to new heights as it confidently perches on a powerline in Sri Lanka. With its striking yellow bill and white-headed appearance, this adult member of the endemic race Turdoides affinis taprobanus is truly a sight to behold. Living up to its tropical island habitat, this passerine species adds a splash of color and charm amidst the lush greenery. Known for their lively songs and social nature, these babbler birds are often found in groups, creating melodious symphonies that echo through the Asian tropics. As our feathered friend gracefully balances overhead, it's hard not to marvel at its ability to navigate such precarious terrain with ease. The powerlines may be designed for electricity, but they've become an unexpected perch for this adventurous avian explorer. Captured by FLPA photographer Neil Bowman during a December expedition, this print transports us straight into the wilds of Sri Lanka. It serves as a reminder that even in the midst of modern infrastructure like powerlines and wires, nature finds a way to thrive. So next time you're out exploring or simply gazing at your own backyard, keep an eye out for these delightful songbirds who aren't afraid to take flight above our heads!
