Description
This time I chose the Black-collared Barbet (Rooikophoutkapper) also representative of the common garden birds in central South Africa. I hope you like the red color which is not coincidental tomorrow, Feb 14th!

What an unusual bird! its beak, of course, built for cracking hard objects. A compact bird though with the forequarters stouter than the rear. The cock of the tail is interesting as well. Very, very interesting... :-)
I like your birds very much, they are so colour full, so beautiful and, captured in an excellent way. I always like the african / dutch names!! Your yesterdays Kuifkophoutkapper was a beauty, the bird as well as the name. Looking forwards to see more of these colloured friends, appearently very comon in your area, which makes me a bit jalous (LOL) Prettige avond daar in het zuiden Henk
nice pics of an unusual (for me) subject.
Beautiful capture from the fantastic bird!!! Lovely details, depth and yes, red colors!!!

This is one of the most beautiful birds I have ever (never) seen. Wish I could see a bird like this perching in one of my trees. Yes, I'm jealous. Looking forward to seeing even more of your beauties soon.

Beautiful Photography. Excellent!! Congratulations!!
don't think I've ever seen one or the wild yellow looking one previously, both wonderfully photographed and presented ;)
Mummmmmmm another so lovely "Barbican" !!!! And yes, he's dressed with the specials colours of the Valentine's Day !!!! Lol Another fantastic duo of portrait of this little bird. You're lucky to have find 2 of the same family ! Different in colors, but so similar for all the rest. And with a superb presentation Piet ! Thank you for those incredible shots and Birds ! A special Hug for you ;o))))
I love his little whiskers and scarlet red breast. I wonder what kind of song this bird sings. Most beautiful capture.
General shape is not much different from European or American songbirds - color and the size of the beak however are dramatically different. Great capture, Piet - well done!
A real treat and some new ones for me!
Very nice. If I don't check up on you once in awhile, I would miss all the wonderful work you do. Thanks for sharing. Aloha
