Photo of the Day – The Blue-crowned Laughingthrush (Garrulax courtoisi) is a Critically Endangered species now only found in the Chinese province of Jiangxi. This is certainly one of the world’s rarest and least-known species. The good people in the small village of Caomencun have taken fiercely to protecting the large Camphor trees where this species takes refuge.
This is where Rich Lindie managed to photograph this individual
Photo of the Day – The Pink-throated Twinspot (Hypargos margaritatus) is one of Southern Africa’s most desirable endemic species, and it’s easy to see why. This is a gorgeous species! Unfortunately for eager birders, this species is not an easy one to find… On top of its restricted range, it is also quite secretive. But the challenge makes actually seeing the bird all the more special.

Photo of the Day – The Helmeted Manakin (Antilophia galeata) is a sexually dimorphic species, with only the male rocking this incredible Elvis-esque ‘hairstyle’. This species is found in gallery forest from central Brazil to north-eastern Bolivia and Paraguay. Wherever you see this species, it is sure to leave you ‘all shook up’.
Just like it did the photographer, Dušan Brinkhuizen, when he captured this shot in Brazil
