Dilemma Over - I'm Back!
The old, old story of not doing daily tasks and keeping up to date to avoid the mad rush. Of late I tend to put things on the back burner sometimes just wishing them away. Prime example is doing bookkeeping, taxes or medical aid renewal versus Hive, I know which one normally wins!
Alas time always catches up, and yes although I have not written in almost 3 weeks I pop in daily and still keep contact wherever possible. No use chirping about it, we need to do what we must, and move along.
Around the home watching the Pin-tailed Whydah protecting seed is much more pleasurable to sitting in front of a computer all day long.
Sweet in song, aggressively chases birds big or small, everyone make way for Cheeky a Pin-tailed whydah (Vidua macroura) and his entourage of ladies it has been fun to break the days watching his antics.
A full report back on this little guy will follow, quite a feisty fellow who dresses for the occasion, starting from dawn ending at dusk impressing the ladies in town. Oh he does not build a home but borrows, his little ones will be hatched in the nest of a common waxbill, who fully foster and raise the parasitic pin-tailed whydah chicks.
Cheeky even had a go at Woody to his total confusion poor dog, going toward the bird feeder to inspect which he does periodically he got bomb dived...
Last few weeks have been tedious to say the least, some unusual some not so much, garden kept me entertained and sane in between...
Lock the gate at the end of the day, perhaps not today, not sure what reptile species was locking up so neatly!
Phew, thankfully I have caught up, if we celebrated Thanksgiving, it would be the last three weeks of doing, not pontificating, yes I am thankful for reaching this point! Still more bits and bobs to complete, the big chunk is done and dusted!
Now able to relax and return to sharing more about our holiday away, birds, flowers, trees and what no things I truly enjoy reciprocating in every way with peeking through the lens of friends around the world. Have a wonderful day, start to weekend, Happy Thanksgiving for all my friends celebrating today!
Moral of the story, never put off what work must be done today, who know what tomorrow brings.... Or go missing in action trying to catch up, your decision.
All photography is my own, any queries or requests please drop a comment below, have a wonderful day! Photography without tripod go with the flow wherever life takes you.
