Finally I managed to photograph several species of weavers while in South Africa. This text is common to all them except the long-tailed widowbird and the grosbeak weaver. Encounters with the two species were so interesting, different from those with the other weavers, it had to be reflected in information in separate texts. These birds could be observed and photographed in such large number, because the number of their species and the abundance of individuals there in South Africa is shocking.

I came across The Yellow-faced Honeyeater a few times. It had a meal on inflorescence keeping a safe distance. As it befits  the Honeyeater, not only nectar is its food. It feeds among the leaves and inflorescences on trees and shrubs. The vast majority of the menu are insects and nectar just complements its diet. Yellow-faced honeyeaters build nests in the bushes, quite low, close to the ground.

Prezentowane zdjęcia powstały w większości  o poranku, na tukanowym plenerze w okolicach wodospadów Iguazú. Dzięciura żółtoczelnego udało się fotografować jeszcze w innym miejscu, ale też na północy kraju.  Rozpiętość skrzydeł tego dzięcioła wynosi około 40 centymetrów, a waga jego ciała nie przekracza 100 gram.
