EDITORS COMMENTS
Tweeting it up in the Savannah! Cape Sparrows gather for a pre-flight party before hitting the waterhole. These little birds know how to have a good time, congregating on tree branches and chattering away about their favorite snacks - seeds, fruits, buds, and even insects! They're near endemic to this area, making themselves at home in grasslands, grain fields, and even human habitation. Talk about adaptable! This lively print captures the essence of these social sparrows as they come together in an impressive aggregation. It's like a birdie convention up there! With their vibrant feathers shining against the African sun, they create quite a spectacle. The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park provides the perfect backdrop for these feathered friends to spread their wings and take flight. As they soar through the sky with synchronized gracefulness, you can almost hear them singing 'I believe I can fly'! So if you ever find yourself wandering through South Africa's Northern Cape region, keep an eye out for these delightful creatures. Whether they're roosting or taking off into action-packed flights, Cape Sparrows are sure to bring joy to any wildlife enthusiast's heart. Alan Weaving has truly captured nature's beauty with this stunning shot – showcasing not just one sparrow but an entire flock of fun-loving flyers!
