I don't have a garden really...but saw this at school this morning, a young gymnogene folowing its parent!

They are becoming more and more common in Nelspruit! \O

Wowee Flutterby - Rosey Faced lovebirds in the wild - Stunning.

R.P. - Gymnogene in Nelspruit - Well done. We never had them in town when we lived there.

Some visitors to our garden over the past few days.

Seen but not photographed - a first time for me: African Olive-Pigeon. I am now going to be waiting for it to return sometime. I first thought that it was a speckled pigeon but then I noticed the very distinctive yellow beak and feet.

Burchells Coucal.
