19 April 2023 - Beaulieu Bird Sanctuary
I had to drop off the dogs at 'school', so stopped again for a quick walk around Beaulieu before starting work. Like the last visit, the berry feast was still in full swing with Dark-capped Bulbul

and the Black-collared Barbet
 |
| Black-collared Barbet (Lybius torquatus) |
Sunbirds and Southern Masked Weavers were at home on the flowering Strelitzia's
 |
| Southern Masked Weaver (Ploceus velatus) |
A Southern Boubou that popped out of the bush to grab an insect caught me by surprise - just a crappy record image of a tough to see in the open species
 |
| Southern Boubou (Laniarius ferrugineus) |
There were good numbers of Black-throated Canary, I was able to photograph this one through a small gap in the foreground foliage which I enjoy
 |
| Black-throated Canary (Crithagra atrogularis) |
Around the dam, there were a few Sacred Ibis
 |
| African Sacred Ibis (Threskiornis aethiopicus) |
along with a Wattled Lapwing fly-by
 |
| African Wattled Lapwing (Vanellus senegallus) |
Along with the Greater-striped Swallow, there was a pair of Lesser-striped - another good record for my home Pentad
 |
| Lesser Striped Swallow (Cecropis abyssinica) |
I almost missed the Green Pigeon as it flew at speed over the dam - always good to see in my home Pentad
 |
| African Green Pigeon (Treron calvus) |
