Day 176 African Darter Making Waves
I loved the ripples this African Darter made when swimming in the vlei.
Day 173 Fiscal Flycatcher
We saw this Fiscal Flycatcher catching insects on the farmlands.
Day 169 A Long Beak Of Note
This common Whimbrel has one of the longest beaks I have seen, one of the migrant waders that visit our shores.
Day 161 Kestrel Feathers
Don't you just love the beautiful feathers on this handsome Rock Kestrel?
Day 152 A Cape Longclaw
Met this Cape Longclaw, with his colourful orange markings, on the walkway at the Rietvlei Nature Reserve.
Day 149 Loving Mother
Watched this loving Red-knobbed Coot mother feed her young chick. Shame it is so ugly too but at the same time rather cute
Day 148 Cape Glossy Starling
This Cape Glossy Starling is quite striking with his electric blue colour and that bright orange eye.
Day 145 Bulbul Among The Berries
This scene of the Cape Bulbul eating the red berries looked so Christmassy.
Day 143 The Dive Of The Pied Kingfisher
The Pied Kingfisher flies up really high, hovers whilst scouting for fish and then dives straight into the water. I think it is amazing that they don't get injured in the dive.
