Terrestrial brownbul Another newcomer to my garden, I only managed to capture this one shot then it was away again. These are very secretive birds but according to Sasol Birds, 'joins mixed species bird parties'. Can't say I have ever noticed any bird parties in my garden but I shall now be looking out for them! Its name in Afrikaans is 'Boskrapper' so maybe it is a bit of a party bird!

    The sun is leaving us here and if I understand correctly, you're about to enter spring, right? You now have the responsibility of guiding us through these dark months with uplifting spring scenery like this :) Posted 10 years ago

    Ha ha, yes, we have a short and typically European spring, today was 35deg C but the rest of the week looks like it is going to be miserable. Hopefully summer is on its way and everything around here will come to life again. Mind you, having said that, with the heat we had today it was very very quiet and nothing stirred!
