Magpie Mannikin Lonchura fringilloides (859)
(Dikbekfret)
Experiences with species

My previous view of these Mannikins had been of them flying over us at Monavale Vlei in Zimbabwe. They have been visiting a garden in Tzaneen (well out of their normal range) for some time now, it made a worthwhile detour stopping past "Skopsie's" house and getting to (closer) grips with this bird, which was also a lifer for Debbie.

Other names: Pied Mannikin, Magpie Munia
