One of the most interesting aspects of watching birds in Africa is to see different members of bird families that I already know from China. An information for those Indian readers of the blog who only know “Kingfisher” as a brand of beer: It is also a bird family. Different bird families, I know.

I know it is a bit unfair to the species, but it makes me recall the description of one man`s appearance in one of my favorite Raymond Chandler novels (“above the sky-blue gabardine slacks he wore a two-tone leisure jacket which would have been revolting on a zebra”). There, a Maroon Oriole was hiding in the bamboo.

Can the whole family live together in harmony during the school holidays? Zebra Dove – Geopelia striata. Germain’s Swiftlet – Aerodramus germani. Zebra Finch – Taeniopygia guttata. Is it wrong of me to go birding to get away from the kids now that they are at home all day? Bravo if you have.
