Gazania

These used to cover the one neglected corner of our garden. Nowadays there are a lot less but they are still the brightest pop of colour!!
I saw this one when I went out to hang the washing. And then I saw a Fan tailed cuckoo sitting quietly in the tree above me! The only reason I looked up was because the little Fairy wrens were a bit excited and I wondered if I was getting close to a nest.
The Bronzewing that has made itself our friend has had an adventure of some sort in the last 24 hours. It has feathers missing from the left wing so not sure what happened. He still seems fine though and came into the veranda through his “cat door” for some seeds and a bit of apple.
