Re: Latest from the Birdcam...

we were blessed with some stunning weather today, so out went the Birdcam wink it kept an eye on the birds for me too as I had to study again today roll


Southern Grey-headed Sparrow...and mice, please note how fat and shiny (have you EVER seen such shiny furred mice???) well fed mice are rolllol


an Acaccia Pied Barbet checks out the "new" pear and then attacks it with vigor!


hmmmz it would seem Speckled Pigeons can be just as much of a bully as them Cape Weavers!


2 Cape Bulbuls and a Laughing Dove "graze" happily together..perhaps the Cape Weavers and Speckled Pigeons should take note LOL!


hehe so the Cape Weaver does show some respect tongue

Re: Latest from the Birdcam...

We had a surprisingly warm day today, probably an indication of another cold front coming! The garden was filled with birds...and bees, geepers had to rescue them out the pool, out the house ans they even went for the apples in the feeder!

A nice collection here, all 3 sparrow species, House, Cape and Southern Grey-headed as well as a Cape Weaver cool




A Cape White-eye feeds on the apple..and gets nicely annoyed with a bee LOL!


..and a Cape White-eye and Acacia Pied Barbet share an apple ever so nicely wink
