Africa Wild

The male is very handsome.

Especially when the sun is shining on him, but no sun yesterday

Do they trim the grass, Lis?

They did not stay long enough

rain in Lugano.... sun in Lausanne

and vice/versa

Our resident clown

They do some incredible exebitions when chasing the insects

and not only... Lizards and birds too

very nice bird

Much nicer looking than most clowns!

There is a pair of Cape Wagtails here on the farm , around the house , on the stoep , on the lawn , constantly searching for insesct , tail bobbing up and down , etc . Cheerfull little fellows , and every few weeks or so , raising another clutch of youngsters .

They also like to look at themselves in any vehicle's windscreen , constantly jumping up against the glass , tweeting , and trying to " make contact " with their own image ....
And , when bringing some insect back the nest , they go the windscreen first , and try to feed the image first , before eventually going to the nest .

My son took this photograph .
