Indistinct new birds (30 Nov 07)
This is not a clear photo as it was taken from far away, and then enlarged but I am including it for it depicts two new birds for the Kulafumbi bird list: The Red-fronted Tinkerbird (bottom right) and the Collared Sunbird (top left). News from 30th November 2007... -
Dikkop taking off in front of crocodile (30 Nov 07)
I missed three Dikkops standing looking at this crocodile - by the time I managed to get my camera, I only just caught this last one taking off, and heading for the next mud island. Nonetheless, I think this is a fun shot. News from 30th November 2007... -
Three Dikkops on the mud flats (30 Nov 07)
The Water Dikkop is also known as a Water Thick-knee, and is mainly a nocturnal bird, often calling all through the night (a beautiful mournful whistle). During the day, they rest on the sandbanks and islands in the river. News from 30th November 2007... -
African Green Pigeon (30 Nov 07)
A brand new sighting for Kulafumbi! This African Green Pigeon (normally seen in flocks, but not this time) landed above us in the giant Tamarind tree at the 'old campsite'. It is a staggeringly beautiful bird with such rich colours - glossy olive feathers and a shocking orange beak. News from 30th November 2007... -

Black Crake on Sandbank (15 Dec 07)
It's not often you see the shy and elusive (though gorgeously coloured) Black Crake out in the open like this - it's normally skulking in the reeds - so I was pleased to get this photo. More news from this day... -
Red-billed Firefinches (15 Dec 07)
This Red-billed Firefinch pair (male on the right) were attracted to the seeding grasses below our kitchen window. More news from this day... -
Common Indigo Bird (15 Dec 07)
The Indigo Birds were also attracted to the grass seeds below the kitchen window. Here we see the fabulously coloured male. The female is a streaky beige and brown bird, which one might not automatically associate with the male. More news from this day... -
Weaver Bird Island (15 Dec 07)
The African Golden Weavers have been building nests like there's no tomorrow on the reed island in the middle of the river below our balcony. There's even a Grosbeak Weaver nest in there too somewhere. More news from this day... -
