Master nest builders.
Imagine building a tree house that gets blown around in 120kph gale force winds. On a dark afternoon, I saw this Pied Crow (Corvus albus) sitting on that low wall with a strong stick in its beak. It looked

Solving the blue color sky mystery.
I have always wondered about the different shades of blue in the sky. So, in here you will see the blue shades, and we decided to finally try to solve the mesmerising puzzle about the changes in the blues,

Yay! I finally got the sunbird baby.
Not any baby, but a Malachite Sunbird (Nectarinia famosa) baby, and the mom kept her hidden. Always fun and games to search for the baby, as it is a real bird detective search, and the parents developed

The sky was cooking up a storm.
Not any kind of storm, as this one pelted us with heavy rain the whole night. I will show you the build-up to the storm with some lovely clouds (9 shots), and then the rain (1 shot), and finally a view

A bird community at a small dam.
It is amazing to see how the Egyptian geese babies have grown. There are 4 bird species in the community, and I wonder if you can identify them (10 shots). But not to worry, as I as usual will show you

Some random garden shots.
White roses, rain, and stone fruits that you will see in here. Oh yeah, it was a wet affair, but I didn't let that worry me, as my only concern was to keep my camera dry. So, I held the camera under my

Come and watch the process.
I am talking about weird and lovely cloud formations driven by a strong wind. A series of cloud formation changes over a 30-minute time span is what you will see in here. I took the liberty of placing

Waiting for a sunrise.
A change from the regular sunsets that I normally post. We have been getting some crazy cloud configurations here these last days, and the thought came to me to go out early in order to get the sunrise.

A cheesy game with a Starling.
We know that the starlings have babies to feed in the early spring season. They are Red-winged Starlings (Onychognathus morio) and I like to tease them with a cheesy game, as people are scared of them,

A lovely new Spring season day...
...and the birds were all happy and singing. We even saw some butterflies. So, I have an inventory of birds (3 shots), butterflies (6 shots), and some fruit tree blossoms (1 shot), for you to see. The

Sharing some Robin babies.
The first one is a teenager, and the second one is still a baby. A typical teenager, out alone to investigate its new world, and I managed to get some good shots of it (4 shots). Then the little baby

The mom brought the baby for a bath.
It is amazing to see how the parents teach their children. We dared not to go outside as the damaging wind gusts were blowing wildly, and so I was forced to stay inside. But as usual I made a plan, as

Mountains and a rainbow.
I know that they are not related, but only two observances in the day. So first I will share the mountains (5 shots), and then I will show you the rainbow that includes a surprise (5 shots). I saw a light

Look what landed on a roof!
Oh yeah, we were at a fund raiser for disabled children, and this guy popped up. He did not have an invitation to the Spring day cake sale fundraiser, and worst of all, he enticed me to be rude, as I jumped

A lovely sunset always calms the nerves.
Amid all of the bad weather warnings, one can still find spots of beauty. I took the photos of the sunset from our normal high spot, as one can see the horizon from there, and also the sea front. We received

Two major problems that we take in our stride.
An early morning mountain view on our way out to a Papillon meeting. Problem 1. Lately the oil prices per barrel fluctuate wildly between high and low, as it is due to the USA-Iran war. It really hits

Teasing Blacksmith Lapwings.
Easy to get the blacksmiths into panic mode, just go near their nest. I know where they nest and I got them with their babies last spring season, and of course I posted it at the time. The one seemed convinced
