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

We now have some unseasonally warm days and it is ideal to venture into nature. At first, I want to show you how the sunlight changes the colors of a Malachite Sunbird (Nectarinia famosa) (3) shots. Then

...as I have decided to include a variety of unpublished bird species photos in here today. First up, I wanted to show you the Southern Double-collared sunbird (Cinnyris chalybeus) above in his full mating

...in the sky, as an avalanche of clouds eventually materialized. I love these buildup periods just before rain will arrive, as at times the preliminary clouds gradually start to stream in. The World Cup

...as it is certainly cold enough, and I watch the highest peak every day. The highest peak of the mountain range is called the Dome, and you can see it in the picture above. I have four shots of the mountain

...as it is known that here in the Cape, we can have all seasons in one day. First a lovely blue early morning, and a pied crow guiding a harrier hawk out of its territory (3 shots below), then a quick

The smallest and the biggest of the sunbird species with their iridescent colors. At first, I will show you the smallest sunbird and his claim to fame is that he is the best singer of all the sunbird species

We decided to go and breathe in some salty sea air as it's good for the lungs. Such a contrast from the pure mountain air, as the ocean air smells wild and free. So, take your mind and come along with

...as I have two picture stories in here for you today. With a smile of course. Now what do hygiene and patience have to do with each other? I somehow know that you will ask me that question and let me

...as the parents came in to introduce their new baby. It is a little Laughing dove (Spilopelia senegalensis) and it is a real pretty little critter. We had not seen the mom for a few weeks, as they come

...it seems to be owl season, as I got two owls in different locations. I have done a previous post of the owl in the first 5 shots below, but these are all new shots of it as we decided to go and have

The one landed first and I knew that the partner would also come. So I was ready and waiting. They landed on a roof top with their typical loud Egyptian geese calls, and I also got their departure on camera.

A friend asked me if the sunbirds prefer colored flowers, and yes, they do. The first one is a female Southern Double-collared Sunbird (5 shots), and the second one is a Cape White-eye (5 shots). But it

...a live joke mind you, as a bit of confusion was at play. Hello, she said, who are you? is this your car as it is not parked very well. Alcohol can have a different effect on people, and I think that

Some sunbird action on show today and I hope that the Saturday is good for everyone. This is a male Southern Double-collared sunbird (Cinnyris chalybeus), and after the stretches I could see where he landed

...as you will see in here why I said, one of those days. Nothing was a constant. It all started well, and we thought that we would score another clear day, but sadly no-go, as the weather had other ideas.

The day dawned with rain and cloudy skies, but I had to go out and take care of my responsibilities. While waiting for transportation, nature, which never ceases to amaze, treated me to a beautiful sight

...and then a picture joke to get you to laugh. I was so happy to at last, get the falcon taking off, and then the picture joke made my day. What is a picture joke you may ask? Wait and see in the second

...yes, it is winter, and that means that the Malachite Sunbird has its mating suit on. A new month has started, and we hope that it will be a good month for everyone. I also have something else to share

Not fiction, as this is a rare recent discovery, and it really made my day. Rare to see not only one, but two owls in daylight, as owls are nocturnal, and they normally hide away during daytime. A friend
