This is a bird post, but first I want to show you the weather.
No, not a bird, but how I ended up now as I do this post on our study.
It is late afternoon here now in the Western Cape and we had some lovely weather patterns througout the day. I am trying to take things easy, but it's not easy if one is not used to it. Our charity work is very demanding and one has to stay on your toes all of the time.
Sadly it becomes a habit and an unhealthy habit indeed.
But enough said and let's look at the day.
The early morning clouds told me that it was going to be one of those days.
An Ibis Hadeda came cruising over in the dark and I tried to get his silhouette.
Later morning we popped out for some Sunday lunch stuff and I stopped at a public park to get some shots of the mountains.
But as you can see, the light was not good for photography.
So we went back home and I saw Sally in the bird bath.
Back in the study, through the window we saw this little guy collecting furniture for their house.
A surprise as normally the females of other species build the nests.
Not the Cape Sparrows, as his wife sat watching him and I am sure that she was telling him what to collect for their house.
At the exact time that the sun broke through the clouds for a minute, granting me great colors in this shot.
Some of the guys that I know are forever complaining that their wives are chasing them to do things when they are at home. So they rather find excuses like a game of golf and such to stay out of the house.
In the Sparrows case today you can see that the males have the same problem, as their ladies keep a close eye on them.
Maybe I should tip the little Sparrow male to take up golfing hahahah.
And That's All Friends.
