Hadida Ibis with its wonderful loud distinctive call - some say annoying call! Seen in Eswatini and Kruger SA. I remember how I used to hear it early mornings when in Eswatini as a child; those calls take me right back to wonderful memories. #birds #birdsofAfrica #birdphotography #birdsofbluesky

My little Millie has just been put to sleep. At home, laying on the chair. She was the runt of the litter, but as strong as an ox. For nearly 19 years she was my companion, and I will miss very much indeed Apr 07 - 27 Nov 25. #cats
