from $225.00
This striking bird is the Blue Vanga (Cyanolanius
madagascarinus), currently listed as "Least
Concern" on the IUCN Red List. On the occasion of
the 15th anniversary of the PWB, I’m excited to
share one of the memorable challenges I faced
while capturing this image.
At the time, I didn’t have my own camera, but a
friend kindly lent me theirs. Photographing birds is
always a unique challenge, often requiring
specialized equipment like high-quality lenses.
During this period, I was working as a research
assistant, gaining field experience by monitoring
the behavior of Coquerel's sifakas (Propithecus
coquereli) in the JBA Botanical Garden of
Ankarafantsika National Park. Our days began
early, around 6:30 a.m., and continued until
evening, as we tracked the same lemur groups
across the park.
One afternoon, as fatigue was setting in from the
long hours of observation, a stunning Blue Vanga
suddenly appeared in front of me, displaying its
vibrant colors and intriguing behavior. It was a rare
and fortunate moment. I feared it might fly away
before I could capture the shot, but luck was on my
side. The bird lingered just long enough for me to
secure this photograph.
While the Blue Vanga is a popular species among
birdwatchers, much remains unknown about its
population trends and the threats it faces.
Unfortunately, in Madagascar, forest fires continue
to threaten the habitats of species like this one.
Since 2022, I’ve been waiting for the perfect
moment to share this image, and now, I finally have
the opportunity. It’s a celebration of the hidden
beauty of nature and the vital role native species
play in sustaining their ecosystems. I’m thrilled to
share this joy with PWB on this special occasion.
Thank you once again for everything, and may the
wonders of our natural world continue to thrive and
inspire.
