Interesting Bird Observations

Greyheaded Bushshrike

Malaconotus blanchoti

Also known as a Spookvoël in Afrikaans

Normally, I get this bird once or twice a year as a visitor to my garden. What made this particular sighting special is that it is the first time that I have seen a pair together. I did have the two together in the lens when Squeaky decided to investigate what I was doing in the garden. This, unfortunately, caused both birds to go beserk when they saw her, and one flew off. The other one did pose for a few shots.
