Getting our Ellie Fix (March 2016)

[Mel]

Thanks all for dropping in and leaving a note

On with the birds I managed to the odd tick, but I'm still kinda mad that I never managed to capture that collared sunbird that was zooming in and out the shrubs at Matyholweni

The more complying birds were:

Common fiscal


Speckled mousebird


Another one trying to get warm in the morning


Bokmakierie


Albeit a bit grumpy


Another grumpy one


This time as a glossy starling


Southern boubou


Blacksmith lapwing


Black-winged stilts, some yellow-billed ducks and some terrapins thrown into the mix


Pain it the apalis...

[Lisbeth]

Great pics of the Bokmakierie and the other lovely birds

I remember an amethyst sunbird in Addo that almost made me go

[Puff Addy]

I like the boubou!

[Flutterby]

Lovely angry birds!

[Toko]

I like the mousebird

The bar-throated apalis is a good find under the dense bushes there, you need a torch though

[Pumbaa]

Wonderful selection of birds, Mel,

my favourite is the speckled mousbird

[nan]

well all of them

[PJL]

Nice selection there Mel. Well done on the apalis - very tricky to get a pic of them!

Love the Grumpy birds the glossy starling staring straight could be quite scary

[Richprins]

Very good, Mello!

Is that fiscal the flycatcher one?

I like the angry bokmakierie!
