Some lovely African birds.

Weird weather did not stop us from going out to a nature reserve.

This little guy is called a Cape Batis (Batis capensis) and he has a lovely song.

Birds in the wild are plentiful here depending where one wants to search for them. I move through the trees like a ghost and they don't even know that I am there. So they go about their business and I go about mine with the camera.
Maybe that renowned and celebrated wildlife bird photographer @johannpiber will like this :)
Come and look.

Here is a young Malachite male and something special happened here.

He had a younger Malachite brother (Nectarinia famosa)

And believe it or not, he was feeding a younger brother.
The parents were nowhere around and maybe they were orphans.

Beautiful scrambled colors and later the colors will solidify into the lush show of metallic green.

Now for a change as this ringed bird is a Cape Sugarbird (Promerops cafer) preening in a rare late sunbreak.
The ring on his leg means that he was counted and listed.

Fluffing and stretching in preparation for flight.

There were two of them sitting on top of this bush.

This is what a young adult looks like and I love their tails.

Now let me show you two beautiful ducks.

The first fella is an African Black Duck (Anas sparsa) wild of course.

And the second guy is a Yellow Billed Duck (Anas undulata)

A friend @tengolotodo also bought a Canon camera like mine recently and you can see how his lovely bird shots have improved HERE

All of these are wild birds and I could easily put more than a hundred photos of wild birds in this post, but I have to limit myself.
We also saw two flocks of Guinea fowls fighting for territory in a public road that runs next to the nature reserve. That is a post for another day.
I thank you for visiting this post and hope that you have also appreciated the beauty of our wild birds.
A happy Thursday to everyone.

And That's All Friends.
