Glow is always special at the end of day, seeing change in birds here again with those who nest through winter starting to pair up.
Have a wonderful Sunday with warm greetings from Durban !LUV

Yep, and we love that warm glow, even if the temp was only 23C. 3 Pairs of birds preparing nests, laughing doves in the granadilla fence, ringneck doves and mossies in a tree across the road, where the Harrier Hawk loves to visit. But I will keep an eye out for him as usual.
A peaceful Sunday also to you guys and all of the best for the new week !LUV
Birds life ever present, ever changing I share in my content some that appear. Sighted a pair of Crowned eagles above last week, too slow to capture they were reasonably high up as well. Nice to know they nesting in large trees in region, we need then to cull some monkeys down naturally.
Such a pity that you couldn't get the crowned eagles on camera. Oh yes, but we have to keep a constant eye for the arrival of that Harrier Hawk. It's going to be difficult to get rid of the monkeys. They struggle here in Pringle Bay with baboons and people are even wearing outfits and masks to try to scare them off. !LOLZ
The area they roost in is not a safe place to visit, they tend to move between the river and where they have young possibly again this year.
Baboons are scary when they move through in troops, not easy to control man will never chase them from their routes.
So sad that we all cannot visit certain areas, as if we could, you will be sure to find the young in their nest with your camera.
Baboons were here first, and it is their territory that was invaded by man. Simple as that, but not so simple, as man wants to kill them, without realizing that man was an intruder in their space. Many years ago, the famous town of Franschhoek was once called the valley of the elephants, as hundreds of elephants fed on the trees there when they passed through the valley. Now the valley is occupied by a town, and the elephants were eradicated.
Such is life.
Very worrying, as nature stands in the way of profit for the developers.
Overcoming problems rather than making matters worse would be beneficial.
All new buildings built carry solar generation, new roads have animal tunnels beneath where freeways are built like Europe, assist rather than completely destroy. Leave tracts of land for the animals to survive.
