What a wonderful collection of birdies, nan! O:V
For some reason I really like the crow on the braai...
I really need to set up a bird bath as well next time at Uri.
Funnily enough, I always do it at GK, but have never done it
at Uri. Wonder what I have been missing because of that. :-?


God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

mel, I put a bird bath in all the camps, the small camps ;-)

have a look at this one at KTC :
almost all the bottles of water was recycled... and finished their life like that =O:
all was damaged, most of them at the bottom :?
even bees come to drink :-)
