Let me know when that tide's coming in won't you

Thursday 14 April 2022

Looking for some old friends.

The weather is improving, the temperature is warming up. The blossom is on the trees, and some of our Summer migrants are starting to return. Things are looking good again, and the air is filled with bird song that I've not heard for a long time. Chiffchaffs in particular are now here in abundance, and they aren't wasting any time in letting people know that they are here. Other than the Wrens, Tits and other garden birds, they are a real noticeable call to hear, and it makes me smile. They will soon be joined by Willow Warblers, Whitethroats and some other more exotic looking birds, but right now I'm loving hearing them call incessantly. It adds a little extra joy to my walks.

  2. Wow Adam, it's been an age since I visited your blog and once again you don't cease to amaze me. Your images are truly beautiful. It makes me want to MAKE time to get out into the veld and photograph the birds (we have the Mountain wagtail, grey wagtail and Stonechat here) thanks for sharing these beautiful images. Jo

    I love to hear them singing.
    First time I've seen a Tree Creeper; he/she has personality!
