Description
Time for a change with this Crested Barbet: This week I was tempted to start with a short series of bird captures I made. They are representative of fairly common garden birds in central South Africa. For you enjoyment I added a link to more info and names in 3 languages and hope it is not going overboard.
South Africa has been experiencing problems with international Internet links lately and I hope it is solved soon hence my absence in the galleries.
