The Black-collared Barbet is an African Barbet and is a common resident in South Africa. This bird is easily recognized by its loud duet and its snarling warning call. They are one of only a handful of birds which “duet” (that means that one bird out of the pair sings the first note, then the other bird sings the second note) which it uses on a daily basis. To those that stand and listen, this does not sound like it comes from two different birds, but one solitary song.

Black fronted dotterels also known as black fronted plovers, Elseyornis melanops, taken in the Kimberley, Western Australia.

This pair were not at all afraid of people which made them wonderful photographic subjects.

Saltator atripennis
(Black-winged Saltator / Saltador de alas negras)
The Black-winged Saltator is a fairly common resident of humid montane forest on the west slope of the Andes from southern Ecuador to northern Colombia. It is more difficult to see than some other species of saltator, perhaps due to its preference for the canopy and its avoidance of clearings.

A group shot of these beautifully coloured & patterned waders (complete with photo-bombing Lapwing).
Quite a hard crop, so this image is a little noisy, but I rather like this early morning scene.
The black skimmer (Rynchops niger) is a tern-like seabird.

long black train
josh turner
There's a long black train
Coming down the line
Feeding off the souls that are lost and crying
Rails of sin only evil remains
Watch out brother for that long black train
Look to the heavens
You can look to the skies
You can find redemption
Staring back into your eyes
There is protection and there's peace the same
Burnin' your ticket for that long black train
'Cause there's victory in the Lord I say
Victory in the Lord
Cling to the Father and his holy name
And don't go riding on that long black train
There's an engineer on that long black train
Making you wonder if your ride is worth the pain
He's just a waitin' on your heart to say
Let me ride on that long black train
But you know there's victory in the Lord I say
Victory in the Lord
Cling to the Father and his holy name
And don't go riding on that long black train
Well I can hear the whistle from a mile away
It sounds so good
But I must stay away
That train is a beauty making everybody stare
But its only destination is the middle of nowhere
But you know there's victory in the Lord I say
Victory in the Lord
Cling to the Father and his holy name
And don't go riding on that long black train
I said cling to the father and his holy name and don't go ridin' on that black train
Yes watch out brother for that long black train
That devil's a drivin' that long black train

This handsome male Black Redstart was photographed as he was busily collecting food for his youngsters. Both parents were working hard, flitting back & forth with a variety of insects, including beakfuls of these flying Ants.

I dont post same pictures -this one taken January 1. 2021
On our trip to Takaka earlier this year two fantails came and hung out with me, one pied and one black. (As far as I know black ones are usually only found in the south island).
These two flitted around and around me tweeting and catching insects, landing on the fence wires and flitting around again. So wonderful to have one black and one pied appearing to be friends.
I just love how friendly they are and I always feel happy to have them around.
