What are you doing there?
April 2, 2021
I’m not sure what this one was up to. There were a pair in a tree. And this one was acting like a woodpecker!
Don’t be shy. Let’s see you.
What are you doing?
I’ll get closer.
Your mate above, is watching you too, wondering…
By the roadside
April 1, 2021
I saw this beauty by the side of the road last week. I wish I had been quicker to focus on him when he flew away.
Birds everywhere

I haven’t been able to be out and about, so I included a random assortment of birds today.
Shake a Tail Feather

…..while having a quick bite to eat.
On the bank
March 29, 2021
These were all lined up along the same stretch of bank. They seemed to be very happily co-existing.
An Egret?
March 28, 2021
I’m not sure about this one. I think it is an egret but it could be a heron. Apparently they are very similar.
Terricks Trip
March 24, 2021
These were seen on my recent trip to the Terrick Terrick National Park, about 10 km away as the crow flies. (30 if you go by road).
This is a prickly pear (Opuntima, I think). It a very invasive plant and illegal to cultivate. The ‘pears’ are apparently edible. There were a few plants growing wild.
My husband spotted this bird. I don’t know what it is. Any ideas?
Even more swallows

There were a lot of them!
Bird on a wire
March 17, 2021
Two different cuties today. The first is a wagtail, doing what it’s named for. I realised I haven’t taken any pictures of them, and when I decided it might be a good idea, they were few and far between and wouldn’t stand still for me! More of the swallows. This one was happy to pose.
