The Feral Pigeon and the House Sparrow came the day after, when in the lush green oasis of the Sanitas nursery tea garden I noticed the announcement of the next meeting of the Botswana Bird Club. Under that impossibly blue sky of Africa.

After a quick run to the coast where I picked up a bunch of new year birds (and saw a Feral Pigeon on my way for my first bird of the year ) I headed to Crocheron Park where the tanager, I presumed, was the sole survivor of the original winter rarity trio of Yellow-breasted Chat , Wilson’s Warbler , Western Tanager. Western Tanager !

That means grassy fields are loaded with sparrows, hummocks are filled with wood-warblers, and wetlands teem with waterfowl. Ditto for the feral Muscovy Ducks , though they are a bit less nice. Nanday Parakeets are nice , but introduced. At least I got Black Rail , even if it was heard-only.

Ferruginous Duck – year round. Spanish Sparrow – still ill-numbered but, since recently, breeding near the city. Tree Sparrows are almost as common as House Sparrows in some parts of the city, while Ravens and Rooks can be seen among the corvids in the city – unusual for Western birders. Black Stork – spring/summer.
