Bird Weekly: Birds Starting With C

I’m annoyed with myself for forgetting this week’s challenge. Anyway, tardy I may be, here’s a few C- Birds. No beach, no waves, just C

Cape Robin Chat.

Pied Crow.

Crowned Plover

Cardinal Woodpecker – Female.

Crested Barbet

Cape Wagtails.

Cape Sparrow – Male.

Reed Cormorant spying out the koi in the pond.

Streaky- headed Canary

Cape White Eye. 2nd shot. Parent feeding chick.

I realise I probably cheated a little with all the ‘Cape’ birds, but I’m sure I’ll be forgiven.

All except the Crowned Plover were photographed in the garden.

While stuck in traffic in a long tailback, the Plover was spotted pecking in the dirt. Just as the lights turned green it decided to make a death defying dash across four lanes of traffic. I held the camera and held my breath. As you can see, the little bird made it! 

Thanks once again to Lisa for the challenge.
