In the flower beds below my shop veranda, we have a resident bird: a Common Fiscal. Seeing it fly in, I took my camera and captured a few shots.

I'm linking to Saturday Critters here
We're off to Parkrun for the first time this month. Then it's back to the shop - business as usual...
HAPPY SATURDAY TO YOU ALL.
How lovely to have your resident bird (as long it is not a crow, lol).
ReplyDeleteNot common here - and a little charmer.
ReplyDeleteYes I remember them we used to have quite a few around our garden in RSA. Have a good weekend Diane
ReplyDeleteIt posed very nicely for you!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week-end!
Hello, Jo! Great sighting of the Common Fiscal. Good luck with your parkrun. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat fiscal bird looks like it has a velvet body ~ so beautiful and right in your own back yard ~ great shots ~ ^_^

Hi Jo, thanks for stopping by. See you've moved again and now run a really interesting shop/gallery - wish so much I could stop by. The bird is lovely, do you feed it?
ReplyDeleteI recall the views of the Drakensberg Mts. far in the distance when I stayed at Mala Mala (twice), moody and mysterious in shades of blue and purple as the sun went down - sadly too far away to visit, which I would have loved to do.
Good luck with your business. Have a fun weekend.

A pretty bird.
ReplyDeleteI like the coloring of the bird.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of Common Fiscal.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots of your resident bird. You were quick with the click. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Jo! I admire how quick you are to snap these photos! Great to see your Common Fiscal!
ReplyDeleteCool name, great eye and pretty bird. It's nice to have friends all around you.
ReplyDeleteNice pics of your resident bird. Good that he posed for you. I take a lot of pics trying to get a good shot.
