Pink in Africa

10,000 Birds

This species is a southern African endemic, restricted to, but fortunately not uncommon, in dry woodland and sand forest habitats of northern Zululand, Swaziland, scattered pockets of north-eastern South Africa and southern Mozambique. Definitely my personal favorite of Africa’s pink birds is the delicate Pink-throated Twinspot.

Birding the Kruger Park (3): Malelane area

10,000 Birds

We had been driving through Eswatini (Swaziland) for a few hours during the day, coming from Ndumo. The Lilac-breasted Roller is the national bird of Kenya, but of course, this does not help it pay its bills in South Africa. Eswatini must have the worst paved roads I have ever experienced. Thanks for pointing that out.
