    Ek sien Joubert was nogal besig met sy kamera hier 😉. Natuurlik hou ek van die kleurvolle voëls – die “Saddle-billed Stork” is lieflik en ek hou ook van die naby foto van die “Red-crested Korhaan”. En jou eerste foto – is dit ‘n Bee-eater? – dis net so mooi!

    Amazing collection of photos!The brown hooded kingfisher would be my favourite . No spectacular coloring on this bird but he or she looks like a nice fellow.

      Oh they are, unless you are something they’d like to turn into a meal, Anne. Despite their name the Brown-hooded Kingfisher hunts away from water, catching anything from insects to lizards!

        Maybe you could send one here. We have an explosion of mosquitoes this summer and we had a nest of barn swallows that ate lots of them but they have flown and gone now.
