Blue-capped Cordonbleu

The male blue-capped cordonbleu is identified by his all-blue head which distinguishes it from all other east African cordon-bleu. The nest was seen at Nadosoito (5-21), courtesy of Frank Priscus Shirima. The left upper female is courtesy of Per Holmen. The other photos were taken in Mkungunero, Serengeti NP, Ndutu, Tarangire NP and Oldonyo Sambu. The bird with a brown cap in the left lower photo is a male red-cheeked cordon-bleu shown with a blue-capped male: click it to see several enlargements including immatures.
