Birding therapy

While I was ill last week, Grant took me out several times for a breath of fresh air. Of course, I always had my camera and binos ready! 
 Little Grebe (Dabchick)
 Speckled Mousebird

d'Arnaud's Barbet
The very shy and difficult to capture Slat-coloured Boubou! 

Spotted Palm Thrush
Woodland Kingfisher

I'm linking my post today to Wild Bird Wednesday, kindly hosted by Stewart Monckton. 

I hope you're all having a wonderful week.

  4. Glad you are feeling better, Jo.... Those birds are gorgeous. I especially love the colors of that Kingfisher.

    That was nice of Grant to take you out for some 'air' while you were sick.
    Hugs,

  7. Glad you got out of the house. And birding no less. Surprised myself by knowing half of these. Love those Kingfishers.

  8. Great set of birds - we are down at the coast for a few days - lots of wildlife - 'roos, wombats, echidnas and some good birds - but more than that, beautiful weather and relaxed times!

  11. We had a camping holiday over Easter at the Crags near Natures Valley. Our campsite was right next to a pond and I loved sitting there watching the birds come and go. Spotted a giant kingfisher on our first day. Nice sighting.
