African Crowned Eagle

We are incredibly privileged to share our area with these magnificent birds. Aren't they just exquisitely beautiful?

Lovely little in-flight female double collared sunbird.

Three gorgeous European Bee-Eaters at iSimangaliso Wetland Park when we visited over December. The bird life is extraordinary up that way 🥰

There is nothing quite as "Iconic African" as hearing the African Fish Eagle calling. I had heard the distant call, though couldn't see them. My dear friend and mutual bird lover lives on the next hill over, in our Valley of A Thousand Hills. I receive a message from her stating they're headed my way. Armed with my camera, I'm ready, and less than a minute later they appeared. Not one, not two, but three African Fish Eagles flying above me. Calling out continuously to each other. It's enough to give you shivers. And in a stroke of luck, a Common Buzzard entered the party, and in one shot, flew directly overhead one of the eagles (see first photo). Day made. 😍

A new first for me - A Juvenile Klaas's Cuckoo! Had never before even laid my eyes on one of these guys. Heard the very distinct call coming from the bottom of our garden, and off I raced with camera in tow. Such pretty little characters.

Been so fortunate to have a breeding pair of African Harrier Hawks (Gymnogene) plus their youngster frequenting the area. Often hearing them calling and suddenly having three flying right above me.

If you've been anywhere in KZN this year so far, you'd know we're all slowly melting away and wishing Autumn would hurry up and get here. This little sunbird has the right idea, with her own shaded, private splash pool.

Oooooo I have been dreadful at posting any pictures recently.... though have still been behind the lens!!! Small technical difficulty at home with our Wi-Fi down at the moment, preventing me from being able to process more pics this weekend.... so herewith a small snippet of some recent captures! Starting to make a dent in my bird book, knocking off multiple new species seen!

Appreciation post for my husband...

Setting the scene - I'm out the back of the house on the verandah, hubby is in the lounge on the couch, my camera is sitting on the dining room table. I hear the distinctive call of the Black Headed Oriole, and he's close by. Hear them most days, though they can be quite elusive and fast moving. I have photos of them, but you know, you always want a better photo....🤣
So I come barreling through the doors, racing for my camera...... With not a single word spoken, my husband quite simply and calmly lifts his hand and points to the left, saying "Front". Off I dart through to the front of the house, and there he was. The Black Headed Oriole.
Thank you for "getting me". Thank you for your unwavering support in everything I ever do. You're one in a million.

I just love these little guys, but sjoe they can be difficult to snap a picture of. Zooting around in the trees at a rate of knots, barely sitting still for a second or more. As quick as I spot one and lift my lens, they're gone again. Having seen higher numbers of them in our garden now with the spring blooms attracting the bees, I've been fortunate enough to catch these handsome boys, strutting their stuff for the girls. Bright blue eyes and beak, and growing beautifully long tail feathers putting their best courting foot forward.

I know, I know. Far too many photos in one post. Though I truly could not decide which to leave in or leave out. Just a reflection of being in my happy place with my tribe (Team Badger 😉). We had some cruddy weather along the way, though this lent to some really different photography for me... keep an eye out for the cheetah, martial eagle and lilac breasted roller all captured in the rain. Uniquely beautiful in their own way. Phenomenal trip birding wise, some of them I'd never seen before.
