Saturday Critters with Eileen

I normally have quite an eclectic mix of creatures - feathered and four-footed for this post. However, this week Grant only got in from the office late in the evening. When we went out, the lighting was not at all conducive to good photography! We're also experiencing windy days which causes birds and animals to hide in the bush instead of showing themselves!

However,  this is my contribution today to Eileen's meme, Saturday Critters .  

 A young Harrier-Hawk foraging for insects and grubs in the stump

While we watched this young raptor, it stepped up and poked its bill into the cavity...

...then looked at us and yawned! 

 A pair of Yellow-collared Lovebirds provided a photo op

A Long-tailed Cormorant was a willing model!

In the gathering dusk it was just possible to capture this pair of Black-backed Jackal on a mission

I hope you're all having a great weekend.
