Joining up with My Corner of the World.
Welcome back Diane! I love seeing all the varieties of birds you manage to capture and share with us. It's such a great variety.
ReplyDeleteI have just not had the time to keep up with the bird blog but I have been posting wildlife as well on photodiarydps. Thanks for the comment and I hope all is well there. Diane
DeleteBonsoir ma chère Diane.
ReplyDeleteTrès belle collection ! Il y a des espèces que je n'ai pas très bien photographiées moi. Comme l'irrisor. Bravo pour ce portrait. C'est bien le Souimanga améthyste.
Ton apalis est très beau ! Et en effet le pipit est une Sentinelle à gorge jaune peut être car on ne voit pas la poitrine, mais sentinelle c'est sûr.
L Amérique du Sud est formidable pour les oiseaux mais j'aime aussi très fort les oiseaux d'Afrique.
Merci Diane.
Bisous et bonne soirée
Bonjour Nathalie, Merci pour le gentil commentaire et les mises à jour sur l'identification. J'ai maintenant changé le site Web.
DeleteBonne semaine, mais je pense que nous avons beaucoup de pluie!
Bisous Diane
What spectacular creatures. Amazing to see different species of the same variety of bird we have here, like the heron. Love the new ones I have never seen too, like the hoopoe! Fantastic shots, Diane. Thank you for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marie and I love to share as much as I love to see birds from other countries as well. Interesting following photos from around the world. Keep well Diane
DeleteStrikingly beautiful birds. The tinkerbird portrait is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much and I agree the Tinkerbird is very striking. Have a good day,Diane

DeleteHello :=) What an amazing variety of African birds none of which I have heard of. Lovely selection of these beauties. A few which stand out for me are the Red fronted tinkerbird, and the Green Wood Hoopoe, also the Yellow breasted apalis, but there are a host of other showy African birds that I would love to see in the wild as you have done.
ReplyDeleteBest Regards.
Hi Breathtaking, thanks for your kind comment. It is always good to visit RSA, I love the variety of birds there all of which I grew up with. Very best wishes, Diane
DeleteHi Diane. I'm glad that you pointed me in this direction. What a splendid array of birds you are presenting here. I particularly enjoyed the Green Wood Hoopoe, and the Red-fronted Tinkerbird sooks like a real character!
ReplyDeleteIn my reply to your comment on my blog, I have made some suggestions about batteries for trail cams.
Best wishes to you both - take good care - - - Richard
