A not common story at the waterhole ...

Africam, Nkorho pan cam,


Few minutes before noon ...the cam zoomed on our common friend the Wood Sandpiper ..Suddenly a snake was appeared on the left upper corner of the cam ...The Wood Sandpiper realised the snake and moved fast ...the snake checked the waterhole and as there wasn't anything else interesting for it ..moved towards the weeds...Little birds (the first must be a Shouthern Grey headed Sparrow) approached and soon a big flock of birds that I can't ID moved flying over it ...I suppose to chase it away

Village Weaver ?

It is impossible to tell what species of Weaver was this bird ..but if it is one of the previous years weavers they nested in the tree then it is a Village Weaver ...They came back to the waterhole for the nesting season  ..It is almost spring now in Africa
