That was a very small lizard The Kingfishers are all so pretty, that you have to forgive them

Kingfishers in your garden - how cool is 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.

Re: Garden Bird Pictures
I told you of the African Olive Pigeon that came to visit my garden. This past weekend it returned – bringing with it a friend -
They were nervously looking around for any danger -
They then decided that they will take turns in drinking while the other one stood watch -
… but then the thirst overcame them and they both ducked…

Re: Garden Bird Pictures
Amoli! Great pics too!
The Kingfishers visit at least once a week and when they call I run outside with the camera, you can actually get very close to them and they don't mind the dogs, normally they sit on the phone line and that does not make great pics. The day the one caught the lizzard my dash hound Lulu was eyeing the same lizzard and the Kingfisher just grabed it right in front of her, I missed the action shot of cause

Re: Garden Bird Pictures
So lucky SM.
Amoli, great to have the pigeons in your garden! I've seen them near the river over the road from us but never in our garden.
