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.

Really?
Great pics, Amoli!

According to my book that is right Lis. Eastern shores, then up north to Zim and Zambie.
Now if you told me you saw one at Saldana Bay...
