Enjoy your week.<br /><br />LOL Bob;) it's SO good to have you here again. Thanks, I'm also pleased that my blog followers are up and runnning again.<br /><br />Thanks Regina;) <br /><br />Hi Ishtar;) I remember seeing Hamerkops soaring above us on a birdwatching trip in the bush in West Africa. Don't know if it's localised to Guinea alone though. You know, your question is an interesting one. I had lots of birds in the summer but have MANY more this winter. Debbie thinks the birds all know my garden still has natural food (in the garden plants) and of course, there is water. Oh dear. We've had two mornings of minus -3 and 4 degrees and the gardeners and I have not seen the parakeet this week. I'm praying she flew to my friend's garden. If she appears, the gardeners will call me and I'll photograph her. Thanks for visiting. (((Hugs)))) Jo<br /><br />Welcome Ruiz; thanks for your comment.<br /><br />Thanks Tom, it is always a pleasure to post on your meme. Thanks for visiting today. <br /><br />Hi LadyFi;) I'm glad you have seen a different bird in my post. Thanks for visiting.<br /><br />Hi Arija;) yes, this lad is always very shy. This is not the first time he's visited my pond (he's been here often in the past two years) But this was the first time we managed to capture him so well. Thanks for visiting.<br /><br />Hi Gattina;) thanks for visiting. I loved your blog today. Thanks<br /><br />Hi Gaelyn;) thanks, I'm also pleased Debbie managed to get these photos especially now when I realise this is a truly African bird - obviously not seen anywhere else. Thanks for visiting.<br /><br />Thanks, itsnotjustapicture: good to see you again;>)<br /><br />Hi Louise, yes photography is making use of opportunities. And now we can blog about it... Thanks for popping in. <br /><br />Hi Sunny;) welcome to my blog. I'm glad I found your blog. I LOVE it. <br /><br /> Thanks Dedene;) good to see you again...<br /><br />Hi Rajessh;) thanks and thanks for visiting my blog.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11666316882168582862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617652323643666421.post-56864052495264816912009-07-28T17:51:26.619+02:002009-07-28T17:51:26.619+02:00Very lovely snaps.Very lovely snaps.Rajeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325697671806865458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617652323643666421.post-63256980448093450662009-07-28T17:16:50.299+02:002009-07-28T17:16:50.299+02:00That's an amazing bird!
