I found the nest on a farm that borders on the mountains. It is the first week of feeding, and I could see that the babies of the Malachite Sunbirds (Nectarinia famosa) hatched, as I timed the female coming

I posted it about 3, or 4 years ago, and the ones that are still here on Hive might remember it. So, we returned here, as we heard that a new coffee shop had opened up. I will show you some doves (5 shots),

The staff saw a snake, and it seems that the birds also knew that there was a snake around. So, these two friends, a Cape Sparrow and a Mousebird landed on a tree. I will break this story up into sections

Two species that are similarly colored, but quite different in size. In here you will see 4 shots of the male and his female, and then 4 shots of the other sunbird and his female. It was the one non misty

And yet again, I have to warn sensitive souls not to view this. In my previous Peregrine post that you can see HERE, I said that I had another post to do about the Peregrine, and this time he had a bigger

At first, I got this Guinea Fowl lady wearing the latest fashions. Lately women wear tight fitting pants, and you can see that Ginny, the Guinea fowl lady also had some tights on, but she covered her bum

Early morning and I was watching the beautiful cloud streams coming over. Then I saw some birds appearing from far away, and it looked like they were headed in my direction. It all worked out so great

Not only for us, as it is the same in featherland. I will show you two fights in here, the first one was between two male Cape Turtle doves (Streptopelia capicola), (6 shots), and the second battle was

A first for us to see this loving Cape White Eye couple (Zosterops virens) in action. And my first thought was that I must try this with my wife when we get back home. So, as soon as we got back, I waited

Some of us are so busy in life, that they find it difficult to smile. This guy, shall we call him Charly, illustrates his un-happiness at not finding food in the empty plate. Charly is a Cape Weaver (Ploceus

I saw the birds taking off from that tree and hoped that they would come over. Here is a relaxing Sunday read. They are Red-winged Starlings (Onychognathus morio), and I will show you below where they

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This happens when an old man thinks that he is still a youngster :) In here I have a Cape Grey Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) (3 shots), then I have a Southern Fiscal (Lanius collaris), followed by a

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
