The amount of Southern Double-collared Sunbirds at their feeder is phenomenal!!!

Re: Latest from the Birdcam...

Southern Grey-headed Sparrow also mad an appearance, but eyed the cam with much suspicion before flying off LOL, they will no doubt check the scene out for a while before eating near the cam.

2 White-throated Canaries also showed up, but out of the cams view, unfortunately, you may see the flowering bush in the background swaying wildly in one of the vids, that would be them eating the flower petals.

Re: Latest from the Birdcam...

the wind played a bit of havoc with the cam today LOL, but eventually put it up at the local bird watering hole wink
The House Sparrows bathing is for the cute factor, watch how clever they are with getting a bath; look out for the poor little Southern Double-collared sunbird hanging on to the reeds while awaiting its turn at the water and the bird sounds in the Cape Weaver footage.
