Orangebreasted Waxbill

While catching Barn Swallows at the Umzumbe Swallow Roost I was lucky to get this little stunner in the net. This male Orangebreasted Waxbill is such a stunner and he seems to know it. Looking at it you can understand why it is such a sought after aviary bird, but it is still better to see them in the wild where they belong.
