A duck in a bucket! We have seen beer served in a bucket before, but this duck is a first. We are now officially "birders". We have an Australian Bird Guide book to go with the Birds of Botswana book that we already have. Unlike real birders (those without the quotes) we are only counting the birds that we have been able to photograph. Mostly that is due to fact that many of these birds look very similar to two or three other species. It is only with a photograph that the fine differences can be identified. So here are the birds that make it to our "Life List" today.
The Masked Lapwing
Two Little Corella on the wing
A Little Corella on the top of a mast
Hmmm could be any of five similar birds
But the eye indicates that it is an Australian Fig Bird
A Magpie Lark Female
These Radjah Shelducks were keeping us laughing
A blue Faced Honey Eater
White-breasted Wood Swallows were very fast
I was lucky to catch them in motion
Noisy and flocking together...
beautiful in flight
The Red-collared Lorikeet
A lorikeet and honey-eater in the same tree

Magpie Geese
The white birds are Torresian Imperial-Pigeon
This tree top was a popular spot
It has been 142 days since we began our Migration
