Wow!! I love the weavers and the little bee eaters. The weavers are amazing and have awesome weaving skills. And the masked one is gorgeous!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great selection of birds, the first one is quite stunning.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely selection today Margaret. The Masked Weaver is very beautiful with that gorgeous red eye.The Pied Kingfisher is one bird I remember with affection from Africa, a guaranteed bird almost everywhere. I look forward to seeing lots more pictures of fish eagles.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Hi Margaret,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of these birds.
I love them all very beautiful.
Have a good weekend.
Best regards, Irma
Hello Margaret, I love all the beautiful birds. The Kingfishers and Weaver are a couple of my favorites.. The baboons are neat and the Fish Eagle is awesome.. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking birds, and the baboons must have also been fun to watch. I enjoyed the video very much. Thank you Margaret.
ReplyDeleteThe Masked Weaver has such lovely colors, and I like the red eye which is like the eyes of my local towhee. All the birds are so cute and must be fun to watch. I like the doves, they always have such sweet and gentle personalities. Once again I am admiring your bravery in photographing the baboons, perhaps I am overly suspicious of their aggressive capabilities. They are amazing animals.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of these birds and baboons. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteAren't they beautiful? Such wonderful colours.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely birds, so colorful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds... baboons... odd creatures. Ha! ;) blessings ~ tanna

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely walk that was, Margaret! Love the blue waxbill. What a pretty bird!
ReplyDeleteThe masked weaver looks like a spot of sun with its bright yellow feathers. I would much rather run into it than the large baboons!
ReplyDeletebeautiful birds, brightly colored and more subdued, doesn't matter. :)
ReplyDeleteMargaret, nice to visit your blog. You show pictures of beautiful birds. I love to watch them. Thank you for visiting my blog and your lovely comment ! I think the name of the bird (hawfinch) changed google translator!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy weekend !

Fantastic series of images, Margaret! And how clever of you to get all the birds to pose so nicely! You must tell me your secret.

The masked weaver is certainly brightly colored! Also nice shot of the laughing dove; I wonder how it got that name.
