The Sunday BIRD Volume 8, Issue 28: December 30, 2012

Business and family commitments have kept me from going out and getting any reasonable bird pictures. I did get a few shoots of the Juv. Arcacia Barbets and A Juv African Black Sparrow Hawk in the garden. I was happy with both takes from the bird perspective as there are 2 Juv barbets  that come for the peanut every day. The Juv sparrow hawk is also great to see as there have been a few adults around . They do not come for the peanut butter.

The hawk arrived just as I had got out the pool and was changing. The sparrows and doves scattered and all the rest  and I saw it land in a pepper tree. I dashed inside and garbed the E-5 and went hunting for a hawk. The hawk was deep in the tree against a bright background so they are a bit rubbish any way if flew off and I fined getting dressed . I heard a lot of laughter fro inside the house and when I asked what the joke was my wife gave me this run down of how there was a rather rotund naked man running around our back garden with a bloody great big camera.

What sacrifices we make for craft.

Any way

E-5 and Bigma.
