corridor
a long passage in a building from which
doors lead into rooms.

An external internal corridor at
Mt Sheba Resort,
South Africa.
Melbourne’s
Royal Arcade
could be considered a corridor
It’s certainly an internal passage of sorts
with doors leading to rooms
which we called shops.

However, the “warts” that give warthogs their
name are actually protective bumps.

30th Wedding Anniversary
Four years ago we experienced
a Hot Air Balloon lift off for our
thirtieth Wedding Anniversary.
The Northern White Crowned Shrike
was captured while visiting
Sausage Tree Safari Camp
Sausage Tree Camp
forms part of
South Africa’s
Greater Kruger National Park.
The African Harrier Hawk posed for us
for a few minutes before it thought it wiser…
…to take to the air as gracefully…
..as it could.

Both birds were sighted
while staying at
Sausage Tree Safari Camp.

This week I have chosen birds which are all,
according to Google, smaller than a breadbox
which are usually about 16 inches wide
by 8 to 9 inches high and deep ,
or 40cm x 20cm x 20cm.
I would have thought the
Northern White Crowned Shrike
was considerably smaller than its
Crimson Breasted cousin.
However, at 19-23 cm long and
tipping the scales between
42 to 58 grams it more than
holds its place with its cousin.
The Crimson Breasted Shrike
is a smaller bird than I remembered it to be.
Measuring 23cm in length and
weighing 40-57 grams it is roughly
the same size as the
Northern White Crowned Shrike.
Bread box: 40cm x 20cm x 20cm
The Kalahari Scrub Robin
measures only 16 cm in length and
weighs between 17 and 23g
Bread box: 40cm x 20cm x 20cm
At 14 cm, or 5.5in, long and weighing
only 8–13 grams (0.28–0.46 oz),
the Superb Fairy Wren
Bread box: 40cm x 20cm x 20cm
