Africa Wild

Then there are the ubiquitous sparrows - a male and a youngster:



The tits - blue tit and great tit:

And the blackbirds have had their first breed already up and flying by the start of May.

One of the youngsters spent almost a whole afternoon with me - obviously feeling quite
comfortable in my presence.



When mum came, it demanded to be fed and looked rather puzzled when mum didn't oblige.

This one is bad quality - but a lifer for me: a serin.

I have had a couple of redstarts nesting on a my balcony for a couple of years and now I see that there are several more couples around than before

I see them in the morning from my bedroom window. Must remember to prepare the camera

I still have not seen a blue tit around Must go for a walk in the forest ( Walk is the bad word )

Lucky you regarding the redstart! Would love to have them closer by.
Maybe that would increase my chance of a really good photo. And even of a male.
But those birds were never taught how to sit still.

Looking forward to your photos, Lis.

I had quite a few photos of them, but they have been deleted, who knows why

great sightings, Mel

There are no redstarts, starlings or serins around in our garden

wow superb... lot of species around you and a Serin

Nice ones Mel.

I'm a bit green of your Serin sighting. Still one on my wish list.
