Bronze Mannikin

The Bronze Mannikin or Bronze Munia (Lonchura cucullata) is a small passerine (i.e. perching) bird. This estrildid finch is an abundant resident breeding bird in much of Africa south of the Sahara Desert of dry savanna habitats. It has an estimated global extent of occurrence of 8,100,000 km².

This got straight from my backyard. They looked so cute that I shot quite a few due to their continuous changing of positions.

Really great series. I like how they literally just crowd up on one another, like trying to stay warm or something.

Very best,

A great series, entertaining just to see the pics and strong looking beaks they have.
