  • Chestnut Munia, (Lonchura atricapilla)


    Chestnut Munia, (Lonchura atricapilla) by Paolo Dolina, on Flickr

    A small, plump reddish brown finch with a black head and thick silvery-blue bill. Immatures are plain sandy brown with slightly darker wings. Often seen in flocks, usually in grassy areas, including lawns, but also marshes and rice paddies; prefers wetter areas than Scaly-breasted Munia. Gives soft pipping and clinking notes; song includes quiet slurred whistles and bill clicks. Native to southeastern Asia, but introduced to numerous areas including the Hawaiian Islands, Japan, Ecuador, and Jamaica.

    Excellent colour and a clean background that enhances the handsome bird. While I suspect you have framed this for the flower/seed spike, I can't help feeling it needs more space in front of the bird than behind. Still, it's a nice shot.

        Lovely looking bird. 100% agree with wigz on his remarks about the space issue. Me being me, I would have flipped the bird to keep the flower where it is in the frame.

        My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

          yep nice detailed shot of this bird which shows it well.
          agree with resident composition police again though. needs more room on right.
          we are conditioned to expect our subjects to be looking into the frame rather than out
          good work
