By turbulent I mean that the weather was again very unsettled. I just had to show you what the hidden mountain looked like when we left our house. In here you will see some early morning skies (4 shots),

Crows like to fly in strong winds, and I upset a pair, as I was standing below their nest. In here you will see how the crows behave when they sense danger (7 shots). Then you will see a tree that I was

...one must just to know where to find them, and by grace I do. By now I think that you know the male Malachite Sunbird (Nectarinia famosa), and his iridescent colors was on show (5 shots). Then I have

...as I wanted to jump for joy when I saw this little fellow. Yep, he is a very scarce Amethyst Sunbird (Chalcomitra amethystina), and you will see how lovely he is (5 shots). Then I have a Cape Sugarbird

We wanted to see how many of the geese babies were still there. Nope, no geese were there, and so I focused on a bathing Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus), in the first half of the post (5 shots) and then

I stopped the car to take a shot of this view, and then something happened. Suddenly the sky turned into a bird flying fiesta, and I was so glad that I stopped the car to get the cloud in the picture above,

Look carefully at the first picture and tell me if you can see the contents of this post. Quite often my eye can see something, and it is always a nice surprise. That was also the case in here when we

So cute to see his wife flying though our front garden, loaded with nesting material. I also have a video in here at the end of the post, to show you how Robbie takes a bath. He is a Cape Robin-chat (Cossypha

Brave little birds, and there are sparrows all over the world. It is said that sparrows nest on ships in the harbors, and when the ship lands in the harbors of other countries, then the sparrows fly inland

You will quite likely never again see shots of this kind in your life again. I really did not expect the quality of the views in here, and you will also look anxiously up in the sky if you know that your

And Mother nature gave the male guinea a flower for chasing the crow away. The lesson here guys, is don't try to get fresh with someone else's women. A bit of humor attached to this post in order to serve

A relaxing Sunday read about one of nature's wonders. You will see the Cape Sugarbird and his wife (Promerops cafer), and then a female Southern Double-collared Sunbird (Cinnyris chalybeus), and finally

Imagine building a tree house that gets blown around in 120kph gale force winds. On a dark afternoon, I saw this Pied Crow (Corvus albus) sitting on that low wall with a strong stick in its beak. It looked

Not any baby, but a Malachite Sunbird (Nectarinia famosa) baby, and the mom kept her hidden. Always fun and games to search for the baby, as it is a real bird detective search, and the parents developed

It is amazing to see how the Egyptian geese babies have grown. There are 4 bird species in the community, and I wonder if you can identify them (10 shots). But not to worry, as I as usual will show you

...as usual I was at the right place at the right time, to get this fellow on camera. So, how's this? A white Mousebird sitting in the open on a white fence. What you will see in here, is a mousebird (4

We know that the starlings have babies to feed in the early spring season. They are Red-winged Starlings (Onychognathus morio) and I like to tease them with a cheesy game, as people are scared of them,

The first one is a teenager, and the second one is still a baby. A typical teenager, out alone to investigate its new world, and I managed to get some good shots of it (4 shots). Then the little baby

It is amazing to see how the parents teach their children. We dared not to go outside as the damaging wind gusts were blowing wildly, and so I was forced to stay inside. But as usual I made a plan, as

Oh yeah, we were at a fund raiser for disabled children, and this guy popped up. He did not have an invitation to the Spring day cake sale fundraiser, and worst of all, he enticed me to be rude, as I jumped
