House Sparrow A Community
When the days is hot with not a breath of wind this little Female House Sparrow sat quietly in a shaded tree watching me.
The race P. d. indicus of the House Sparrow was introduced from India to coastal KwaZulu-Natal in the late 19th century, now found almost everywhere in the country, they do not live in the extremely dry regions.
A symbol of joy, community, teamwork, protection, simplicity, hard work or self-worth this little sparrow appeared to enjoy a short encounter with someone she lives close to, found in our gardens all year round. One hears their low calls while moving around the home.
Medium Sized Woodpecker Nipped In For Visit
Our medium-sized woodpecker with a streaky breast and throat visited, Golden-tailed Woodpecker (Campethera abingoni) enjoying shaded area in Duranta erecta shrub.
Must have some tasty morsels close to the main bark where it appeared focused on, hopping up keeping within the shade another bird carrying on his daily chores avoiding the heat.
The nasal shrieking 'wheeaa-aaaa' call, led me to it's presence.
Wishing all feathered friends a wonderful week!

How To
I really don’t know how you manage to take such good shots of shy birds; it’s inspiring 😁🕊️🦅🦆🦜🦜🐥🖕
Birds are in the garden at all times of the day, I think they are accustomed to me roaming around at different times walking the dog.

Birds are such great company throughout the year, have a wonderful Sunday my friend.
House sparrows are so different when it is hot, ours are looking for warm places now.🙂
Love to come into the home sometimes, occasionally I wonder if the one I hand reared many years ago, if it's her linage that stay so close.

LOHtokens.@joanstewart, You have received 1.0000 LOH for posting in Ladies of Hive. We believe that you should be rewarded for the time and effort spent in creating articles. The goal is to encourage token holders to accumulate and hodl LOH tokens over a long period of time.
No doubt about it—birds add so much color and life to any environment. Sparrows bring that charming simplicity, and woodpeckers with their fascinating drumming and vivid colors truly stand out. Being able to capture their beauty in photographs is amazing, @joanstewart !

Wow! I've never seen a woodpecker like this before.
Telltale signs with woodpeckers, I find the species take on similar stature, a bird we don't see often.
