South African Birds by Proxy!

Well as we haven't been birding since our trip to Wales and I haven't even had time to go out on my lunchtime walks, so I thought I would go off at a tangent.......

Tina's brother lives just outside Cape Town and through him we have a friend Doug, who is also interested in wildlife and birds in particular, so occasionally he sends me details and photos of what he has seen on his travels, so here are a few to wet your apatite if you are ever thinking of a trip down that neck of the woods:

Steppe Buzzard

Sugarbird

Sunbird

Sunbird

Hoopoe

Hammerkop

Cardinal Woodpecker

Black Hooded Oriole

Knysna Loerie

So Doug keep the photo's coming.................
