Common Critter today

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.

  7. 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?
    I 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.
