Today was an amazing spring day, the first very exciting bird that I saw in my garden was a Scaly Throated Honeyguide. I have some honeycomb tied to a tree just outside my office window, I have been observing a juv. Greater Honeyguide(see photo) that comes down regularly to feed on the honeycomb, but today we had a new bird on the block. This is the first time that I have seen the Scaly Throated Honeyguide in my garden, a few weeks ago I heard it calling.
During a lovely long walk around the dams and pastures this afternoon I heard the first Little Rush Warbler calling from the reed beds, I also heard amongst others African Rail and Red Chested Flufftail. I saw a stunning Paradise Flycatcher male with very long tail feathers.
I look forward to the arrival of 'my' Wahlberg's Eagle.
