A Happy New Year to everyone and your families.
I have some different birds in here to please your eyes and hope that you will enjoy them.
At this time of the year everybody is at home preparing for the old/new year parties tonight.
We don't have such things and thankfully the nature reserve was deserted when we arrived for a quick walk.
When I took the first photo a cloud was in front of the sun, but a bit of waiting cleared the sun and I got the rest of the photos.
This is a Cape Sugarbird (Promerops cafer) and it's one of our birds that have the longest tails.
Here we have a Ringneck dove taking a drink in our birdbath.
Some more photos of the Sugarbird.
I saw this Pied Crow landing between some cars in the traffic and someone in one of the cars dropped a chicken bone out of the window.
Luckily the crow came my way and landed on the roof of a house across the road.
He knew that I was watching him and he gave me the evil eye.
So he took his bone and he flew away with it to go and eat it in peace.
Oh yes, many of us say that it was tough year, but what are we going to say if the new year is even tougher?
We certainly hope and pray that things will get better, especially over here as we are in dire straits here with our huge un-unemployment problem and the electricity shut downs. But we also know that there are troubles all over the world.
But even if the new year is tougher, life will go on and we only have to try our best to get along every day. Not to insult or harm others and to sow the seeds of kindness in whatever we say or do.
And so we as Papillon and personally what to wish only the very best for everyone in the new year.
Come what may, we pray that we all will get through it.
And That's All Friends.
