Birthday breakfast at Kirstenbosch and then a quick wander around the gardens before it got too hot.
Crickets, Agamae(?), Agamas(?), Agamasses(?) eish…
An Agama – and then another one – and some pretty flowers (obviously), but not too many birds on show. We did get what we could, though.
I do really like the detail on this sunbird shot
And it even stands the zoom test:
…but the shadows really ruin the image.
And thus we were about to leave disappointed (as far as ‘togging birds went, at least), but then our old friend the inquisitive African Dusky Flycatcher (Muscicapa adusta) popped by.
Absolute bread and butter stuff, but such a willing and dependable subject: and just so cute.
More celebrations planned for this lunchtime, so I’ll have to love you and leave you for the moment, but the great news (T&Cs apply) is that there will almost certainly be more here tomorrow.
