Shy birds? Egyptian Geese foraging breakfast

 This Blacksmith Plover has to be a first for me. 
Although my bird book states that it is fairly common, I can't recall seeing one before
(unless old age has something to do with it)

Taken from a moving vehicle
A Lilac Breasted Roller made a beautiful splash of colour in otherwise drab surroundings. 
I could not resist the shot that resulted in this very strange photo. I nearly deleted it, but the more I look at it the more it reminds me that although everything might not always be perfect, there is beauty in everything around us. We just have to open our eyes and our minds to it

What would a visit from the children be without breakfast in the park?
As soon as the food came out, so did the birds although they did try to hide in a nearby tree ;)
At one stage there must have been at least 6 types of birds,



This has to be my favourite photo of all time - a Bradfields Hornbill - in all its glory

There is big excitement in my house tonight because my children are en-route from Dubai !
While pacing up and down in anticipation, I went outside and noticed how beautiful the moon is.
Quite an amazing shot for a bridge camera, even if I say so myself!
