Africa Wild

My findings yesterday.

Chaffinch


I went to the stork sanctuary to find that most pairs are already breeding there,
so I'm not very hopeful for Romeo anymore.

This one was quite cute with the feather trophies it paraded proudly.


TLC

Meadow pipit


Blurred wren that tried everything from preventing to get a photo.


Same goes for the willow warbler - obnoxious look in its eyes.


Finally!

Black-headed gull


Female mallard


And a male hybrid with who knows what in it.

Still have to find out what sea birds I saw on my way back home.
Unfortunately they were quite far off but there was Eider duck in it again
and some sort of gull as well and either red-breasted merganser or common merganser.

Great pics Mel

It does look like rather good weather, so is this where you got roasted by the sun

Lovely pics Mel...seems like you are having a great time!!

So...about IDing all those birdies in that pic...how far have you got?

great day birdwise

Nowhere... Don't have a bird book on me. Never take one because if I do, I don't find any new species.
If I don't I struggle with the IDs.

BC, I look like a cooked lobster.

Lis, thanks for looking in again.

Nothing from today though. Cold and windy again and very overcast. Maybe I'll take the camera to the harbour
later on when I collect Spots who is arriving today. But rain is forecasted, so we'll see regarding the cam.

Great pics again Mel.

Love the Willow Warbler.

I'm going to drive you crazy now.....your Meadow Pipit is a Song Thrush.

Of course! We discuss the correct answers and they have to see to it that they note it down somehow to do the correction in neat at home.

Mine do the corrections ugly in class!

Food pics!
