Green Wood Hoopoe at Palmiet Nature Reserve recently. These beautiful birds have specialized sharp claws and stiff tails that allow them to run up and down tree trunks or cling upside-down to the undersides of branches while probing for insects with their long, curved red bill.

Little-known fact… 🐦

I knew owls ejected pellets, but I had absolutely no idea that kingfishers do it too!

This little Half-collared Kingfisher gave me a front-row seat to the process. 😳

Like many birds, kingfishers swallow food more or less whole. The parts they can’t digest: things like bones, scales, insect exoskeletons and other tough material; are compacted into a pellet and later regurgitated.

The pellet is basically the bird’s way of saying: “I’m done with this bit!” 😂

Swipe through the sequence to watch this little guy eject his unwanted leftovers. 💩➡️🐦

Nature is endlessly surprising!

In search of the Half-collared Kingfisher
After two unsuccessful attempts it was third time lucky in my search to find this cute little kingfisher. This secretive bird has its nest in the river bank of the Palmiet Nature Reserve, and I'd been meaning to go look for her (this one is the female) for quite a while. When I eventually found the time it took three trips before I found her. They say third time is the charm and it was worth the wait.

Little moments become treasured memories far quicker than we realise. 💕

A sneaky photoshoot while babysitting allowed me to capture this sweet little personality, curious eyes and all. The tiny details, the expressions, the everyday moments—these are the memories worth holding onto.

Some mornings the ocean whispers instead of roars. 🌊

A moment of stillness, soft light, and endless horizons. Nature's reminder that there is beauty in slowing down.
