    This is how an Eastern Spinebill looks once they're completed their wash and brush up. Rather smart birds aren't they.

    Off we went back to the forest waterhole. As soon as Hans had filled up with water the birds came in; including this Eastern Spinebill. He doesn't look best pleased at being caught in disarray, does he!!! This is the nominate subspecies. Saturday Fun

    Moving along from the Whipbird, an Eastern Spinebill was up above our heads. A beautiful bird, not my first sighting, but my first picture as I'd seen one at Hans' waterhole. He was so quick and I was too slow LOL - this guy was more co-operative.

    Awhile ago I accidentally met Ken (mzungu). Ever since we were hoping to join our efforts in one of the favourite things we do (birdwatching, as you have correctly guessed). And today was that day. I would like to thank Ken for the new park he shown me, for the unpublished knowledge he shared...
