cwisleman Posted January 22, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Here is LINK to photos I have taken of birds on our trip around Africa. If you do not have any interest in birds you can just skip this. Many thanks to James Gradwell for guiding me around Cape Town and Julian Parsons for his help during our stay at the Makakanta Lodge for four nights.

Ravenscroft Posted January 22, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Thank you so much for more wonderful pictures. I especially like the African Sea Eagle with his catch, and the Cape Gannet photo. A very large flock of them passed us on one of the sea days on Sojourn, and I hoped you'd be able to get a photo or two then. Wish I'd met you on board, maybe next time!

Rare frantic36 Posted January 23, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Gorgeous photos Cliff!! Looking forward to another chat sometime. After checking my photos the Red bird photo I took in Mauritius is different to your Red Bishop photo. Maybe you can help me identify my bird photo?

Julie Thanks Julie The bird you saw is most likely a Red Fody. Very common, and considered a pest by farmers. In Mauritius it is also called a Red Cardinal. It is actually in the weaver family and I saw numerous nests hanging in the trees, but never got a photo of one. I had wrong camera with me and tried to take photos of red-whiskered bulbul which were pretty common, but never got a keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Able Seaman H Posted February 11, 2015 #6 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I've been meaning to do this for ages. As repayment for the Sojourn Christmas production stills... Please don't ask for the names though, that's your job ;) Feel free to pinch them off photobucket if you want to put them anywhere. Henry :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Norton Posted February 12, 2015 #7 Share Posted February 12, 2015 The last one looks like some variety of Kingfisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
