In the light of the setting sun, we discovered this Pririt batis quite close to our lodge in the Etosha National Park. To me, the bird gives a slightly fragile impression, but it is in fact a full-fledged insect hunter, either in the trees or down on the ground. Despite its bright colors, however, it does not seem to have caused any deep feelings in the name-givers of this bird. Looking at the names of this species in Latin, English and Swedish, we find a striking lack of fantasy!
