Mondays always need a bit of color to charge us up for the week ahead.
Today I will show you that the "Red-faced Mousebirds" (Urocolius indicus) have returned, They are waiting for the Palmtree fruits to ripen, but in the meantime they feed on other berries. I will also show you another two of my favorite birds.
Come and have a look.
I don't know what kind of berries these are, but if they can eat them, then maybe we can also eat the berries?
Ah, he saw me, but no problem as I don't represent a danger.
So, he sat and it was almost as if he was teasing me with the berry.
This little master songster is a "Southern Double-Collared Sunbird" (Cinnyris chalybeus).
A final look here at the Mousebird eating berries.
And lastly we have a male Peafowl (Pavo cristatus) doing his early morning feathers act.
So, there you have it, some colors here to spruce you up for tomorrow, as the week has started and the first day is almost done. Except for those cheeky Ausies like @galenkp and them, as soon their Tuesday will start while us other normal people will still be sleeping like babies.
Such is life 🤣
And That's All Friends!
Note: All photos are my own and taken with a Canon Powershot SX60HS Bridge camera.
We hope that all of you will have a blessed week and that you have enjoyed the pictures.

BEER.Mousebird always a colourful character, had one at the start of summer, sure to be back now our berries are ripening. Sunbirds have become like the Lourie of late tease with call and then dash for cover, oh the camera is ever ready but no luck so far.
Have a great week.
!BEER
Sorry for the late reply Lady Joan, unexpected powercuts, moody PC as it doesn't like sudden switch offs and incessant rain all taking their toll here.
Yeah that Mousbird was a spy and the flock will arrive as soon as the fruits on the palm turn yellow.
Then by day its mousebirds and by night the giant fruit bats. Another few weeks to go.
Nothing worse that teasing birds when the camera is ready. But than again, they have the uncanny knack to appear when the camera is not ready 🤣
Cheers and !BEER
Power cuts again, just came out of our early morning stint, having ones life turned upside down constantly since 2008 is definitely not something anyone would have anticipated, yet the wreck and ruin carries on.
Teasing birds, insects and life around keeps us sane, and needless to say some cheer at the end of day with a !BEER
Oh yeah, the SOE's have become a real millstone around our necks and I hear that billions will go to Eskom again. All of that money over the years could have built houses for the poor and repaired the roads my friend. Some municipalities are in terrible states and we might have to return to gravel roads methinks.
Yet all receive their full salaries and even bonuses.
What a joke when the sewage pumps don't work and they pour excrement into the rivers.
We are in real trouble here.
But life goes on as they say.
You are right as nature keeps us sane 😄
Blessings and !BEER
Country is an always has been top heavy with Government > Kings > Tribal Leaders > Sangomas > Municipalities > White Collared SOE's by the time you finished filling the pockets of the top "leaders" very little is left for the man in the trenches. Can only lead to problems if not rectified, you call this a democracy....?
Nope, certainly not a democracy my friend. The focus should be on quality of life for all and not only for the top echelon. Bit it is like such all over the planet and the world plus nature is stirring in revolt.
A new "awakening" to the true value in life shall certainly rise up in the near future, at great cost as usual.
We can only hope Lady Joan.
Blessings and !BEER
