Hi Everyone, This is my first blog entry for the year 2013. Hope its going to be a great birding year for everyone.

Even the tiny waxbills land up fighting with the weavers even though they don’t … Continue reading Fighting Attitude

I thought it unusual for this bird to take seeds but after consulting Roberts Bible I see they do take seeds as well as food scraps bread and dog pellets. Another sighting I have made is a couple of Black-winged … Continue reading Latest Addition to feeder list.
Today new observations. On ariving home from work today I went to observe my birdy friends. The female Cape Weavers are really going wild carrying food to their nests making it a definate that there are going to be plenty of Weaver juveniles this summer. This wetland behind our complex is positively teeming with birdlife, and I am sure they really appreciate the plentyful supply … Continue reading Latest Observations
Seems like Bird-feeder was a Hit. I notice that the bird-feeder I have installed has become a hit with a miriade of birds. Today I see the birds are jostling for dominance. From the Large Rock Pigeons with their red eyes and white specled sides to the medium Cape Turtle doves and smaller Laughing doves. Next are the European or Common Starlings and Red-winged Starlings. … Continue reading A question of dominance.
No More Pics Sorry folks I won’t be able to take pics of my favorite Birdy friends for awhile as my Camera and a couple other things got feet and vanished from my flat on Monday. My laptop also dissapeared with all my Birding, photography and Bonsai Info I had been collecting the last 4-5 years. On a brighter note the Bird-feeder I installed rescently … Continue reading Bad news.
