WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY - BIrds at Pottery Lodge, Malawi

These are some of the birds I found when you were staying at the Pottery Lodge in Malawi.  It was quiet, peaceful and we were the only ones there.  Perfect .


Wire tailed Swallow



These 2 little houses is where we stayed for 3 days and as you can see it is right on the beach and was very comfortable.   The girls were in one and the boys next door.


Imagine having this whole beach to yourself.


Masked Weaver


Hen with heavily disguised chicks


Pied Crow


While Judith, Daniel and Annika were painting the pots they had thrown the previous day at the Potteries, I spied above them, this little nest of Swallows.  I didn’t have time to up load my video clips of it for today so I will probably show that next WBW.



A few waders on the beach however I am not totally sure what they are.   


I hope you enjoyed seeing these few birds.  I will showing you more from this place of Malawi over the next few days so I hope you will pop in again.

I am linking this post with WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY.

Thank you for visiting today.


Many thanks for all those people who leave comments.

    This is really great, Margaret.
    Super to stay as on the beach in a cottage.
    Beautiful photos of the Swallows, the last two pictures, I do not know exactly what kind it is.
    Can not see well, but I think of the Rosse Godwit.
    Best regards, Irma

    The wired-tailed swallows have lovely colouring, It really must have been a paradise to have the beach to yourselves.

    It looks like a great place for a holiday and very nice that you saw so many birds. That hen certainly has the chicks well hidden.

    Goodness, a wild hen!!! It IS wild, yes? I have never seen such a thing, and she looks quite fat for being on her own. the beach is totally lovely, wonder why it is deserted? Perhaps it was cold that day. Wire Tailed Swallow, another new one for me. Funny name.

    I had to really look very hard to see the chicks that the hen had with her. Lovely shots and this looks like a quaint and lovely place to stay! What fun you had on your trip!
