Our Swift Tern population is growing in leaps and bounds here at the coast.
Terns often migrate between the provinces, but not this lot as there is enough food in the ocean here. Large numbers of the terns follow the annual Sardine run along the entire coastline of South Africa.
Now I am still too young to be a pensioner and so I spend every free minute with my camera out in nature 馃槑
So today I have a variety of beach shots to show you.
Come and look.
This classic male is a Swift Tern (Thalasseus bergii) in fact they all are, but I had to show you this one for identification purposes.
A special new one for me!
This looks like a juvenile "Hartlaub's Gull" (Chroicocephalus hartlaubii) at the left and he was having a discussion with a retired African Oystercatcher (Haematopus moquini)
Some interesting points here is that the Heartlaub Gull is a first for me and the African Oystercatchers are near threatened, but we have them breeding here.
The moon was silently slipping in begin the gull to see if he was going to nest in that tower bird box.
And here is another typically African scene, as the moon tipped the building inspector flying overhead to the fact that the worker on the high roof was not wearing any safety gear.
Ooops! A drastic u turn as he forgot his phone at home.
Talking about forgetting, I think that it's a new hobby of mine. I have a notebook where I scribble every day's priorities in, but what's the use if I cannot find the book. Not always, as sometimes I find it in the fridge, or even worse I forget the notebook in the back pocket of my pants and it goes into the washing machine.
Ever tried to read a clean washed notebook?
So yes, I get several new notebooks per year.
And That's All Friends!
