Super to watch them ^Q^

The birds indicate to us which trees/berries they prefer,

Shooting birdies in Parks

Post by Penga Ndlovu »

I am surrounded by parks here in Johannesburg and I decided to do some dribbeling around them and shoot some.

Let's start off with Delta Park nearby

One of the most difficult for me to photograph

The Red Billed Wood Hoepoe
Also called the Green Wood Hoepoe

The Tawney Flanked Prinia

The Common Fiscal Shrike

Image

The Crested Barbet

Image

The Little Egret

Image

The Dark Capped Bulbul
