Just about sunset we were cruising the dirt roads around Riviersonderend and found this Juvenile Jackal Buzzard
He (or she) didn’t like our invasion of his privacy so took off in a flurry.

Black Crowned Night Heron
This is a juvenile Heron, photographed at Rondevlei. The water levels being fairly low, the birds are forced out into the open providing an ample opportunity for photography.

Expect travel, flowers, stars, hiking, flowers, poetry, stories and did I mention flowers?
And anything that takes my fancy.
The Header Photo is of a cloudy sunset in the Robertson Karoo.
The profile picture is of a pin cushion with a double collared sunbird on the left and a bee on the right.

While walking along a road that runs along a contour halfway up Table Mountain we came across this beauty.

Pin-tailed Whydah
The handsome bird in the top photograph is the male of the Pin-tailed Whydah species. The Pin-tailed Whydah is a brood parasite – in other words the female lays its eggs in another species of bird’s nest and leaves the host birds to raise the chicks. In this case the host bird species is the Swee Waxbill which is shown in the second photograph.

A waxbill in the morning
Flowers at midday
And the stars at night. Light pollution on the horizon.
