Not photography I particularly look out for is man made wires hanging around to me they are an eyesore, this week however I had to hone in finding birds that forever perch on the cables above.
Focusing on variety of birds that tend not only to enjoy branches, often perch on wires constitute largest order of birds today. I recall as a child living inland watching the swallows gather along the wires at dusk in their hundreds, preparation prior migration to warmer places when our winter started to set in.
Freedom of movement allows majority of birds to sit anywhere, for a short rest, position higher off the ground to hunt, locate other flying insects or dive down to the ground picking up next meal.
Lesser Striped Swallow we have an abundance, visiting in the warmer months some may migrate to more Northern regions of Africa during our winter months.
Trendy Fork-tailed drongo will find a suitable spot to take insects on wing, finds wire or branch to quietly look for food before swift flight.
Dark-capped Bulbul keeping an eye left and right wonder what they are looking for....
Nothing going on, some time to give each other a little attention.
Brown-hooded Kingfisher another common sight in our region, will enjoy perching on high to source food, this kingfisher does not fish, insectivores are they, will venture into other tastes to delight their palette.
