This time I was on a mission – to find and photograph Meyer’s Parrots! Since we now had a good lead on on where to find them we went off in that direction. But getting there is always half the fun when you can also see a Red & Yellow Barbet along the way! He tried to hide but our guide spotted him.

White-browed Scrub Robin
We drove past a sausage tree grove and I saw some movement in the bushes across the stream. I took aim and this is what I got. See if you can find the hidden birds!
After cropping the above photos, NOW can you see them? Meyer’s Parrots! And a little friend in a couple photos, maybe a Bulbul of some sort?
Success! Having seen and photographed all 3 of my target birds, the 3 parrot species, I could now sit back, relax and enjoy the rest of the afternoon.

The end of the day and a beautiful sunset over Tarangire National Park.
