This Fiscal Shrike frequents our lawn, and may be the youngster we saw last summer, now full grown. He loves to perch on the dead branches we put in the garden for the birds. Somehow, in the dry grass, he manages to find an array of things to eat. He seems to stay for a few weeks and then disappears, to re-appear sometime later.
I don't recall having a Spurwing Goose visit us - what a magnificent specimen! Our neighbour called this afternoon to say that he'd not see one here in front of our home since he's lived here. They have been seen in the area and on Zandvlei but haven't visited our front lawn - what a blessing.
Just flapping, not going anywhere...
Spot the four species - Darter, Egyptian Goose, Spurwing Goose and Pied Kingfisher on the perch.
