Two species of lovebirds, but how different in behavior, at least in terms of shooting. The Fischer's lovebirds were seen several times, even in cities. Regardless of whether it was urbanized area or the savannah, they were very skittish. It was impossible to approach them or drive up. They always kept a long distance. Whereas we found the yellow-collared lovebird only in one place, but the birds allowed us to take photos from only few meters. As it happens with parrots they were quite noisy and it was no problem to record the sounds of both species.

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.
