Ant-eating Chats are unusually bold and confiding birds, and a familiar sight in Rietvlei Nature Reserve.
Our end-of-year 2015 holidays were absolutely packed to the brim. Apart from our ten-day visit to the Kruger National Park (read more about our time at Lower Sabie, Olifants and Shingwedzi in December), we also made day trips to five other reserves, and will be sharing photos from those (except Suikerbosrand, which we introduced in a post all of its own) daily through the month of February, in a series we call “a month of monochrome memories”.

The photograph is beautiful and so is the bird!
Thank you very much Sukanya
So moeilik vir my om voels af te neem! Good job, Dries!!!
As die voels so vrypostig soos hierdie swartpieke is, dan’s dit baie makliker Aletta 😉
Sal dit moet probeer! 🙂
What an elegant bird!
Thanks Maida!
Great shot, Dries. Love how he’s got his legs crossed. 😃
Thanks Sylvia! I just imagine how strong a human’s legs would have to be to do this…
