White-fronted Bee-eater, African Hoopoe and beautiful scenery

Good evening dear Blogger friends. Skabby and I had to miss two days of walking this week due to rain and very heavy going. But when we did get out, we enjoyed wonderful birds, he had a good run and swam in the dam and I took photos.

No walk is complete without a photo of the happy boy on his daily walkies

    The hoopoe is quite unusual to my eyes.

    The hoopoe is one styling bird! Skabby wins the dog category. :)
    Have a wonderful week, Jo.
