Carol - " The Birds & the Bees" in her garden



Thought I would sent some nature photographs this time...We don't have to travel far to see a Loerie bird. We have a pair of them that live in my garden this time of the year, they even feed on the window cill. In photo you will note how close the Kiaat tree is to the dining room window as you can see the wooden window frame, the Kiaat tree is about 6 inches away from the window cill. One photo of the Loerie's drinking out of my not so clean bird bath. I don't clean it on purpose as they don't drink from it when I clean it. In a few of the photographs the Loerie is just behind or above the Kiaat tree branch. We also have a Quail that lives in the garden, a porcupine too and then the odd snake or two! Can you believe that these trees are the view we have from our dining room window. All indigenous and named too. The houses that surround us, and that we can see in front of us have maybe one or two trees left in their gardens, the rest were bulldozed out before building started. More garden/bird pictures here - just click The Lowveld is surely God's own country. Proudly South African! Carol
