Double-barred Finches visit during the drought

7th January 2020

We had our first visit from a flock of Double-barred Finches (Taeniopygia bichenovii) to a grevillia tree in the garden that has a conveniently placed bird bath underneath.  It was a delight to see them for a couple of days visiting the garden during the terrible dry conditions - obviously looking for water.  We delighted in watching them dash to and from the bird bath back to the thick grevillia tree for safety.  They were only present for a couple of days. The photos are dreadful but I had to document them!
