An amazing moment in my garden...

Just wanted to post this (not very good) photo of a woodpecker baby learning to fly in my garden. Very special - apparently these are pretty rare and to see one taken for his first flight was wonderful. It was pretty funny too - his mum was yelling at him so much that he attached himself to the tree and got too nervous to try fly... (or so I imagined :smile:)

Booksallsizes I was woken this morning by my friend to tell me their is a vervet monkey in our tree on the pavement. I wanted to say what you smoking until I went outside. We live close the Baakens Valley so it must of made it way up into the street. Then I have a Fischal Strike who as a chick whom we feeding at the moment. I love your wood pecker chick.

 

NB Sorry Booksallsizes I did not want to come and hijack your thread but I was so excited about these two monkeys the fiscal shrike screaming at them.We had such exitement this morning.
