WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY - Birds in Maggie's Garden Blantyre, Malawi

While in Malawi the last time my daughter Judith took me to isit a missionary friend Maggie and I was able to look round her garden and also see this tailor (below)making items that she sells to bring in some money for other needy people.

This is a Pied Crow that entertained me.

I found a huge nest of a Hadidas. If you wish to see this bird that I posted recently, CKICK HERE. 

 I hope you enjoyed Maggie's garden today.

SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY and THROUGH MY LENS

Once again it is time for Scavenger Hunt Sunday and Through My Lens

and these are my ilustrations for the word prompts.  Enjoy.

Just to tell you are , the family area fine but still a bit sire.  We are now on our way to zambia in an ambulance !

1. Starts with K

Last week I flew to from London to Northern Ireland and low and behold a 'king' walked along the isle wearing his crown much to everyone's amazement. 

This week I flew to Malawi with Kenya Airways and this is my luggage label.

2. Holiday Treat

Two days before I left for Malawi my bird group and I went out birding and as a holiday treat we had lunch in a lovely restaurant and the above dish was my main course of salmmon and the below dish was the one that Susan orderd.

3. White 

 While out birding we were pleased to see these white Whooper Swans above 

and below is the white decoration that was on the lamp post 

in my town of Bangor, Northern Ireland.

4. Gift

At the end of a scrumptious lunch with my  bird class they pressented me with a lovely gift card.

5. Brings Me Joy

It brings me 'great joy to still have all my brothers and sister still living and able to meet up to celebrate at this festive time.

However, my GREATEST JOY this week was when I arrived in Malawi and saw my family who were recovering from a head on car crash less than a week ago. May I and my family take this opportunity to thank all who said they would pray and keep them in their thoughts.  Daniel has 2 fractures in his face and the others are in less pain now and just trying to cope with the emotional trama.

Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,

your justice like the great deep. You,
