This is the hidden dam.
I said that I will do another post about the wildlife at the dam. The high trees at the dam offer an ideal hiding place for birds of prey to sit and watch for opportunities to capture the goslings and

Look at that yawn.
Early morning and he must have had a late night. It is a first for me to see the bird yawning, and I got him yawning a few times. It is a juvenile Harrier Hawk (Polyboroides typus) and he was trying to

A forgotten dam.
On instinct I took a turnoff to take a shortcut, and then we saw this. The dam is in a cul-de-sac, and we visited the dam about 3 years ago. This time round there was a lot of birdlife at the dam, and

A stunning version of our mountains.
Almost a European flair of the mountain peaks on show. But this is far away from Europe at the southern tip of the African continent, and we love the constant view changes that the weather and the clouds

The king of fishers, here he is.
It is called a Pied Kingfisher (Ceryle rudis), and it's preparing to dive. I shared my surprise at seeing Moorhens catching fish a while ago, and this time I will share the Kingfisher and some Gulls also

The ageing process.
The views in here reminded me about how temporal our journey in life is. In our prime, as adults, we are energetic and full of life. Many of us think that life is a song and dance and look forward to facing

A cloudy battle for freedom.
Not very good light conditions but I persevered and it worked out well. As I watched the show, of the cloud on the mountain peak, I saw something interesting. Occasionally the updraft from below ripped

Beauty of sunrays on a misty day.
I love the character effect of sunrays in photos. So now in here, I have 10 shots to show you what I mean. We are always on the lookout for something special in the sky and in nature to share on my blog.

I was blown out of the water...
As I have never seen a Moorhen catching a fish. My thought was that moorhens only eat algae and aquatic plants, but not so, as I will show you in here that they do indeed eat fish. Due to my ankle not

Not one, but two.
I normally only get them in isolation, meaning only one bird, but not today. Now here's a question for you: If you look at the picture above, which one is the male, and which one is the female? To make

Now to share a sunrise.
I shared a sunset yesterday and was blessed with a sunrise the following morning. Not that I can get a sunrise from our house, as the house faces the west, and the sun rises in the east. But on this day,

Hidden beauty revealed.
If you see picture numbers 2 & 3 below, things looked very dreary. But not so. The one thing that I learned in nature is patience, as I so well remember my hasty actions when I started with photography.

Being kind to bees.
What a co-incidence, as this community was started on the day that we were saving bees. My wife is the one that saves the bees, and I only did this one to show her how brave I am Lol. Please note some

But of course, he wouldn't listen and simply ignored me. This thirsty guy on the water bowl is a Red-winged Starling (Onychognathus nabouroup), and I will also show you a lovely little squirrel baby. It

One of those days.
The Atlantic Ocean decided to donate tons of mist to us. I will take you on a trip to see various sights early in the morning, and by 3pm in the afternoon, it looked like night had started to set in. So,

Some say that geese cannot fly.
Here's evidence that geese can indeed fly and fly very high too. Let me tell you what I have to share today. First up are the Egyptian Geese, also three Pied Crows (5 shots), and then I will show you how

Some drastic changes on show.
I took a shot of this tower when we turned into the road to a gas depot. I kept this post for a Sunday, as it is a church bell tower after all. We had to go and fill our empty burner's gas bottle. So,
