Re: Latest from the Birdcam...

Sorry that the Birdcam has been out of action of late but between bad weather and things being a bit hectic, the cam took a "sabbatical" wink...

On the nice weather days, the feeders are exceptionally busy at the moment, and today was no exception!

The birds love this shrub(wild rosemary) when it flowers as they collect the fluffy bits (which are actually seeds) for their nests.
I have been trying to get the cam to capture the Cape Canaries, but they keep evading it LOL. Here is a Cape Weaver filling its beak with the fluff seeds.
Hoepfully will capture the Cape Canaries soon!
