In the northern suburbs of Johannesburg, where I live, there is a suburb known as Northcliff that is situated around an impressive hill offering stunning sights of the city of Johannesburg as well as the view to the north of the city. Here are some scenery shots of this impressive area - where we have seen Cape Eagle-Owl many different kinds of Swallows and Swifts and in fact, all of the 36 birds that I have so far seen in my garden.

Here is a selection of photos of birds that I have taken at my home - on the Northcliff Hill:

On the way back home from a birding trip we pulled into our suburb in the north of Joburg and spotted a "White Guineafowl". I see that Roberts' says that it is a Domestic Hybrid Helmeted Guineafowl.
