Continuing on from Part 1, we will now visit the Machile IBA (Important Bird Area) and meet the target bird, the charming little Black-cheeked Lovebirds and a few other birds that were in the area.
We stopped at an office to get permission, then set up in a privately owned farm to look for the lovebirds. Other birds were in the area as well of course!
Our first sighting, I didn’t get good photos, lucky we saw them again later!
African Harrier Hawk
Southern Red-billed Hornbill
Sunbird
I know I am going a bit overboard with pics of the Black-cheeked Lovebird but considering how rare and endangered they are it’s worth it!
Cardinal Woodpecker
Scarlet-chested Sunbird
