Garden Bird Pictures

We had quite a bit happening in the garden this week. The black collared barbet visited whenever the Crested Barbets were not around

Now how do I get that nesting log



You no help Duke, might as well eat while Chris is not around

We managed to get some shots of the Karoo Thrush.

The white bellied sunbird and mousebirds still elude us

For the first time a speckled pigeon in the garden

Love your captions on the barbet, Duke!

Even if some species you'd like to see avoid your garden, I still think you get some good sightings there.

Bob (the weaver) has reclaimed his nest from the Red Headed Finch and is adding final touches to it and has also got the female helping now

Bob is in fine song

For the first time we got Cape Glossy Starlings and they had a peep in the nesting log and a warning from Chris







Chris got his work cut out now as the starlings are not giving up as easily as the black collared barbet, but Chris is winning so far

The bulbul and white eye just get on with it and are still regulars

Lovely pics and captions!

I've seen White-eyes in the trees next door to us but for some reason they are avoiding our feeders!

This morning I got very excited when I heard a Piet-my-vrou calling. I rushed outside and found a Black-capped Bulbul calling away madly as if he was a cuckoo!!
