Monday 28th December was spent wandering the very impressive 528 hectare Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. This site on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain only contains indigenous South African plants, a feature that makes the location very attractive to Cape bird species. The visit was high on my agenda during the holiday. This cape canary was part of a small flock feeding near the visitor centre - and although approachable, reminded me of the challenges of bird photography in strong sunlight - shadows become a nightmare!
Image was taken using the 100 - 400mm IS lens along with fill flash.
