A female African paradise flycatcher sits in the "rain" from another bird that has just bathed in the pond next to it. The male (which I photographed in Kenya) has extremely long tail feathers during the mating season.
En hona av afrikansk paradismonark sitter i "regnet" från en annan fågel som just badat i vattensamlingen bredvid. Hannen (som jag fotograferat i Kenya) har ju extremt långa stjärtpennor i parningstider.
