Thanks Trevor. This bird is common across most of southern Africa. The photo was taken at an outdoor restaurant in the Kruger National Park. Such venues are good for bird photography since the food attracts the birds. Even if you do not feed they they will search for scraps and a brave few even “steal” from your plate.

Where in the Kruger did you take this GREAT picture? This is incredibly close!
Hello Taschja, many thanks for looking. The photo was taken at the restaurant in Lower Sabie. If you look at my earliest pages I have many photos of SA birds.
Centurion. Pretoria, right?

Wow, love that one….lucky you to be able to see them in real life.
Thanks Lara, this is one of southern Africa’s favourite birds. They are easily found at cafes and restaurants in the national parks.

What a cool looking bird!
Thanks Kimberly, these birds are characters (they will steal food from your plate) and are firm favourites across southern Africa.

never seen anything like it …
wonderfully captured
Thanks again X. This and my earlier bird photos were taken in South Africa. Like Aus and South America Southern Africa is a birder’s paradise.

Never seen this bird before. It is so beautiful. You certainly have mastered your art Aardvark.
