Sometimes people just kill the perfect photo. But, at the end the strongest drug that exists for a human , is another human being. We can do this , we’ll beat Covid_19 and then we’ll be together again. . . . . . #capetown #centurycity #photoshoot #covıd19 #beatcovid19 #covidkindness #beatcovid19together #beatcorona #staystrong #stayhome #stayinside #staysafe #canalwalkmall #intakaisland #wateredge (at Century City, Cape Town) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-aAuCaAQ_i/?igshid=13my9ff1rlfba

Intaka Island has a pretty cool boat ride that takes you through the waterways of Century City and onto the Grand Canal. #waterways #boatride #intakaisland #centurycity #anexploringsouthafrican http://www.craiglotter.co.za/2016/11/20/grand-canal-boat-ride-aboard-the-intaka-island-ferry-at-century-city-2016-09-18/ (at Intaka Island)

One of my favourites for #WaterbirdWednesday…the unique African Darter (Anhinga rufa), also called the slangvoel ("snakebird" in Afrikaans), because their necks & heads are the only thing above water when they swim…which looks like a snake! 𓆙𓅧 #waterbirds #darter #anhinga #snakebird #wetland #marsh #restorationecology #ornithology #etymology #intakaisland #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdtherapy #birdsofsouthafrica #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #naturephotography (at Intaka Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-chO0TAb9t/?igshid=zzqf68jwhx2j

A great Saturday morning spent bird ringing/banding at @intakaisland! Didn't catch much due to heat & wind, but did enjoy processing the few we did net, & otherwise spotting other species in this restored urban ecological oasis, as well as @dean_louw's first time joining & handling/releasing a bird!! 1⃣ Holding a beautiful (& very bitey/claw-y) non-breeding male Cape Weaver, in "ringer's grip." 📸 @dean_louw 2⃣ Izzy putting a leg ring/band on the Karoo Prinia. 3⃣ Me & Sally checking the weaver's wings for moult & feather mites. 📸 @dean_louw 4⃣ Happy Izzy after finishing measurements on the prinia! 5⃣ Dean getting ready to release the Cape Wagtail! (All capturing, handling, & ringing of birds done under proper permits…we're not hurting them!) #birds #birding #birdringing #birdbanding #mistnetting #intakaisland #capetown #research (at Intaka Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8o68gcg5e7/?igshid=bppwq6f1ifhb

Breeding White-breasted Cormorants for #WaterbirdWednesday! Cormorants can seem quite plain from a distance…but just look at the fabulously vibrant colours & patterns when in breeding plumage! Intaka Island has constructed platforms to provide additional rookery locations for these birds to nest on. #cormorant #cormorants #waterbirds #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdsofsouthafrica #phalacrocorax #breedingbirds #wetland #marsh #vlei #IntakaIsland #CapeTown #SouthAfrica (at Intaka Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9mTZYIACoJ/?igshid=178uagu5qovf4

Finding beauty in the common, often overlooked things…pair of African Sacred Ibis for #WaterbirdWednesday. 𓅠𓅞 I just love that the first photo was captured at the perfect, mirrored-image moment of preening! #ibis #waterbirds #binchicken #commonbirds #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdtherapy #birdsofsouthafrica #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #intakaisland #wetland #marsh (at Intaka Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ukyWZgusk/?igshid=1dg43fw4hly1a

Came across this flowering fluffy tree - it looks like cotton wool all over the tree and you just want to hug it. Not sure what tree it is, but I had to take a pic. . . . . . #treehugger #cottonwooltree #intakaisland #centurycity #nature #naturephotography #lovenature #iammyownhappypill (at Intaka Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzlk4fvHAOf/?igshid=19rs36443iehx
