If you want to joint in the PhotoHunt, please go here.
There aren't too many exotic birds aroung where we live, with the exception of the flocks of parakeets that have made the South of England their home; and they don't stay still long enough to get a decent photograph. Also, having a cat who prowls around the garden doesn't encourage many of the smaller birds to stay, although I do have a robin who frequently visits, especially if I'm digging.
So, here's my offering for this week's Hunt, from last year's holiday in the Gambia - the first a very friendly chap who used to wake us up by banging on the bathroom window in the morning and the other one of the many little birds scratching amoung the very colourful flowers and bushes in the gardens.

It is interesting to see all the different birds this week.
The first one here is fantastic.
Have a great weekend.
WOW I love those birds....I really am enjoying this weeks theme...I am seeing birds that I would not ever have an opportunity to see..your photos are great!!! Thank you for sharing....
Well, one person's unexotic is another's exotic. Seeing that I live thousands of miles away, I reckon English birds are pretty exotic, actually! ;D
Your birds look so exotic to me. I love these shots. Also, love the quote at the beginning. Happy Saturday!
Thanks everyone.
Just spotted a couple of typos - apologies!
I'm never quite sure why I'm surprised when I see such unusual birds - but I am. They're probably as common as blackbirds ans sparrows in the Gambia, but to me they look so exotic.
Your lovely birds look so exotic to me. I never had these birds in my garden when I lived in England, but I wish I had. Thanks for sharing.
They looks very exotic to me. Nothing like that here in Caanda!
