WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY - BIrds at Ngala Beach Lodge

We now are travelling further north up Malawi and were recommended to stop at Ngala beach Lodge for coffee and for the rest of the week I will be showing you ALL the photographs I took there.  However today to fit into WBW I am showing you the birds I found on this short visit.


This is the Little Bee-eater. 
I will be featuring it more on Saturday’s Critters post with stills and video. 


It is worth looking at their web site, (Ngala beach Lodge) under News where you will find a very long list of birds found around this area.  A bird watchers paradise in more ways than one.



Masked Weaver




Reed Cormorant


I hope you enjoyed these few birds that I photographed at this Lodge but don’t miss popping in tomorrow to see how beautiful this place is and the coffee was wonderful also!

I am linking this post with WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY.

Thanks for visiting and also to those who leave comments.

  3. Bee eaters are spreading North into the UK, slowly but surely. A few bred last summer for this first time.

  8. A great set Margaret. Its amazing to think that Bee Eaters have actually been observed in England (down on the coast). Really colourful little birds.

  9. Margaret, does the bee eater really eat bees? Reminds me of a hummingbird.

  21. Don't you just reel when you think about how many different species of birds there are and how few of them we actually ever get to see. I love this because these are both new to me ... and they are gorgeous (as is the bush or grass the the Masked Weaver is sitting on). You are blessed to get to go to all of these places with all of the rich experiences. Love it Margaret and I will be back for more ...

  32. There's something very special about bee eaters, all those amazing colours I guess.But also they are very accessible birds and unlike some bird species a bee eater will often pose up for a picture.I'm looking forward to seeing more of your African birds Margaret.
