Bird lifers list
A bird lifers list is all the birds that you have seen and recorded. I want to showcase some of the birds I have photographed through my birdwatching journey together with the locations I have photographed them.
Birding in the garden is very rewarding and pleasing. It gives you the opportunity to attract birds in many ways. It’s also the best place to start your bird lifers list. You will also learn a lot of facts about birds this way.
My first purchase for attracting birds was a birdbath. More birds will come to your garden if there is a birdbath. Some wonderful photos can be taken while they are drinking and bathing in the water.
Then, of course, bird feeders are the next purchase. I bought one that looks like a little house where the roof flaps open to fill it with seed and then dispenses it at the bottom. I also purchased various tube feeders to place in different parts of the garden.
I use good-quality garden bird seeds, mealworms, suet, and fruit to feed the birds.
When buying trees, shrubs, and flowers to plant, I always buy what will attract birds. Fruit and berries are fantastic for both gardeners and bird enthusiasts. If you are a gardener, there is nothing better than fresh fruit from your garden. And if you are a bird enthusiast, it is a great way to attract birds to your garden naturally.
These birds are common garden birds that are easy to find in South Africa.
Speckled Pigeon
Cape Turtle Dove
Laughing Dove
Rock Dove
