White eyes social distancing
This picture shows two South African white eyes leading by example by obeying the social distancing rule for white eyes (one inch). They are drinking sugar water. White eyes and their close relatives are small little birds found all over the world.
This picture was taken late this afternoon in Port Elizabeth by a good, long time friend of mine. He is a great lover of wildlife and has gone on safari many times, not only here in South Africa, but also in Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe.
He is going to send me some more pictures of wild life and also some pictures of very interesting places he has visited, often way off the beaten track.
I know we will enjoy them.
