A new visitor!

This morning, while having our breakfast outside, we were fortunate enough to see a bird we had never noticed before. I looked it up and it seems to be a Vidua camerunensis (Cameroon Indigobird/Combassou du Cameroun). We thought it was black, but it's in fact a very, very dark blue.

It's not new (to us), but so lovely we don't miss an opportunity to take and share a few pictures of this Vidua macroura (Pin-tailed Whydah/Veuve dominicaine).

I've presented this elegant bird on this blog a couple years ago already but this pair was too good and too close (approx. 15m) not to capture on film again. Enjoy!

It's here! it comes back every year and somehow, it always takes me by surprise... The signs are unmistakable, though.

Just in case you don't remember how the view is from my porch, have a glimpse here.

Be well, take care of yourself, don't forget to hydrate inside out, and take care of the nasty little ear, nose and throat ailments you'll probably not be able to avoid completely.

Comic relief

No wonder I nicknamed my corner of the bush "Baboonland"...
