Cut-throat Finch - 26Kb

Cut-throat Finch

Amadina fasciata

Another very poor, grainy blow-up from a tiny section of a 35mm slide. (The bird is only 4" long!) But at least it's easy to identify the bird, and to see where it gets its name.
The books say that the Cut-throat Finch is "fairly common and widespread in dry thorn-bush, bush and savanna", we haven't actually seen very many.
