| A female Spectacled Weaver giving me the evil eye . (The male wears a black bib) Such a beautiful bird. My bird book tells me that its habitat is 'wetlands' Considering the rain we had over the weekend it is probably a bit confused... |

| Today I feel cheated by the pink sprinkle machine. and no, there were no pink sprinkles in the bottom of the bag.... (I hope it was the fault of the pink sprinkle machine and not a nibbler of sorts with a love for pink sprinkles!!) |

| Yesterday I noticed two juvenile Black-collared Barbets in the dead Guava tree on the bank in front of my house. This must be the youngest bird because it was left alone for most of the day... a very rainy day. I felt so sorry for it, sitting there so wet & woolly and probably very hungry - I did not see mommy returning to feed it. There HAS to be some sort of social structure because various other birds stopped to check on it... (Luckily I could zoom in and take photos from the front door) |

| A Hoopoe showed a lot of interest and seemed worried because it stopped by twice |
 |
| The Laughing Dove sat with it for a long time - clearly thinking that leaving a child out in the rain is no laughing matter |
 |
| The sun sort of showed its face for a while. A Mousebird seemed to try and demonstrate to the Barbet to 'hang in there' |
