I felt like doing bit of editing this evening, and decided to work on some bird photos that wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity to take flight.
Enjoy!
A pair of guinea fowl going for a morning jog. May, 2015Ostriches are one thing that are not plentiful on Londolozi. We came across this one while driving in for our stay. The sunlight on her backside is not an obvious lighting choice (but hey, work with what you get, right?). I do like the way it show the detail on the feathers. May, 2015A pied crow with the amazing Damaraland landscape in the background. Namibia, April 2015An orange breasted sunbird resting in the shade of one of the lovely flowering bushes at the Cape Town Botanical Gardens. April, 2015A double collared sunbird at the botanical gardens. April, 2015Another red winged starling, this time at the Cape of Good Hope. April, 2015A pair of black oystercatchers on Robben Island. April, 2015One of the incredibly tame red winged starlings at the top of Table Mountain. South Africa, April 2015A robin chat tucked deep in the bushes. I resorted to laying down on my tummy and shooting through the deck railing posts to get some shots. This was the best that I could managed. South Africa, April 2015

I love the oystercatchers. We see them often on the Oregon coast.
Thank you! These were all from my catalogue from my last journey to Africa in April / May 2015. There has been quite a variety right outside the window lately though!

I don’t recall having seen them before myself. So striking with the brightly coloured beak.
Now, if you say that these birds too were taken right outside your office window… 🙂
Great diversity of shots in this series, wonderful!
