Going south all the way to Namibia...

Hi there hivean and feathered friends…

I had to make another post to this lovey community as my cute fellows Puffins were accepted so nice here. I was north with Puffins and as winter is coming slowly here in Europe some birds fly away to Africa. They know how beautiful continent that is. I was privileged to visit it three times and today will share some bird photography from my Namibia (and vicinity) travel back from 2015. It can be that I make some of the shots below exactly on that day 5 years ago; nice anniversary which I will celebrate with you.

Enjoy in photos with some comments below.
Thank you for all the support as always and HIVE ON!

Amazing photos! My favourite has to be the bird perched on the butter, very cute. Africa is a beautiful place, currently in South Africa at the moment but plan on exploring more when time allows! 😀
Happy Hiving!

Same with me. Tops is the butter loving bird. A close runner-up is the traffic jam photo. Great!

Thanks for your engagement on this post.

I don't eat butter, so I left it to the cute bird :)
Traffic jam was funny :) They didn't want to go away that easy so we had to drive behind them for a while. After all, it is their territory - right?

I love butter so I might have had to share it with the cute bird if I were there :) Yup, it's their territory. You have to follow their rules. You know how it goes: "When in Rome, do as the Romans."

Thank you for stoping by...

I have to admit that bird who joined us for breakfast is my favourite photography as well.

Being in South Africa gives you great opportunity to explore neighbour countries. I wish, I could go back there right now, but I am sure that day will come in the future...

Brilliant photos

Thank you very much for your support.
I am glad you like my work and I will try my best to keep it up :)

OMG those are some amazing pictures!! Love your traffic jam it's a hoot, my favorite is your eagle picture, he is on the hunt for a snake, they are some awesome birds.

Thank you. It means a lot hearing such a nice comments :)
Eagle is really majestic creature and great find in the nature.

What a great variety of interesting and beautiful birds! Wonderful photos!👍

I just captured what nature has to offer.
Thanks to Mother Nature...

Brilliant selection of many birds seen in Namibia, wet season brought everyone to town by to look of it. Most think Namibia is barren, then super surprised to learn how much wildlife lives in this region.

Thanks for sharing your memories @crazy-andy

Thanks for your support at first!

There are many more birds there, but I have to admit I didn't focus myself on bird photography that much.
I regret that now as you can capture many interesting things following birds...

Reason to revisit :)

Bird photography is addictive, challenging and rewarding, so much in nature to learn about.

  1. African Fish Eagle with Blacksmith lapwing behind.
  2. Red-billed hornbill
  3. Either Lapped-face vulture or Cape vulture
  4. Helmeted guineafowl
  5. Looks like Water thick-knee
  6. Looks like Eastern golden weaver
  7. African fish eagle
  8. Sacred ibis
  9. The African Openbill

I have tried to identify what you have seen and the African Openbill not one I have ever seen, happy hunting in the future if you start enjoying bird photography!

Ohhh come on...
That is impressive!

I was there, I took the photos, but I only know African Fish Eagle...

Truly amazing knowledge and thank you for sharing it.

I live over on the East Coast, the Fish Eagle is a regular visitor in our area.

Knowledge about birds is super addictive, the region you have ventured to is one I would dearly love to see.

As I said, great to see how much you guys know about birds and you really love them...

I will pay more attention from now on to the birds all over the World.
