And more birds

Near the Reception area at Crystal Springs, we saw this Chorister Robin-Chat. They are called Lawaaimakerjanfrederik in Afrikaans - one of the lovely discriptive Afrikaans names. This one was very quiet and I still don't know why these quaint little birds are saddled with a name like Jan Frederik!






And hopping right next to it, a Cape Robin Chat - Gewone Janfrederik.


This is the best picture I could get of this little Neddicky



The  Cape White Eyes were all over the bushes chattering away.


This Red-Winged Starling found a nice little nook for a nest! 
Just beneath the cottage, we saw this Buff-Streaked Chat (Bergklipwagter) sitting like a penguin on the rock! 


A little later we saw the female.
