Re: Garden Bird Pictures
I was so excited to see this bird in my garden yesterday.... A lifer.
Oh! has he turned his back on us....tch,tch.. come now, don't play games with us...
turn around, just a little... please, only to see your beak...
there, you see, it was not so difficult. Turn a little more now... slowly...
cheeky little buggar... then he flies down and poses for a full frontal -O
What an absolute stunning pretty bird -
I honestly thought I would have to return to our eastern shores to see one of these Thick-billed Weavers until I read my bird book yesterday. They are quite common in Gauteng.

Re: Garden Bird Pictures
Well done on another lifer, Amoli
God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
