This one looked like it was a regular and hung out often at the Old Gluepot water point. It was a real treat to be rewarded by sitting still and being patient enough to watch it gradually come closer. It probably takes advantage of smaller birds coming to the water. Though it went hungry there this day. He was the only action there! Probably due to all the rain, there were puddles and other places for the birds to drink and bathe. It returned this day and then we saw it again here the next day as well.
