Not a good week for birding for me, so a few more photos from Christelle and South Africa

Black_collard Barbet (Lybius torquatus).

Grey-headed bushshrike (Malaconotus blanchoti).

Kelp gull (Larus dominicanus), also known as the Dominican gull.

As above.

African oystercatcher or African black oystercatcher (Haematopus moquini).

African Three-banded Plover (Charadrius tricollaris). 

As above.

Thanks go again to Christelle for allowing me to use her photos.

    I'll bet those exotic birds in the sun warmed you up Diane? All of our birds seem so mudane after such wonders. Hope the sun shines for you. It has here. We sat out for three evenings having a meal - most unusual.

      Very hot here but we love it. We both cope far better with 'too hot' than 'too cold'. I hope at the end of the year I will be taking my own photos of South African birds so it will make a good change from the normal back yard birds that I generally see. Have a good weekend Diane

    Oh my goodness!! Each and all are incredible! And you say it WASN'T a good week for birding? In my opinion it was a GREAT week for you. Wow.

    Thanks so much for stopping by, adding your link, to share with us at I'd Rather B Birdin'

      Anni I am hoping that in October we will be in Africa and I will be taking a greater selection of photos, but while away I will not be blogging. I will though be very busy on our return. Good weekend Diane

    Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful birds! They are all species with which I am not familiar.

      The African birds are what I grew up with so I actually know them better than I know our birds here in France. Have a good day Diane

    We get Kelp Gulls in Australia - they are the least common of our 3 resident gull species.
