Some predators and flyers today.

We are struggling with power cuts here and will be switched off three times today, so I will post when I can.

Not your normal post here, as I like to try new things all the time and I hope that you will like the composition of this post.
I have assembled some different birds to entertain you on this lovely Saturday. So, come and see the flyers in action.

First up is a Yellow-billed Kite (Milvus aegyptius), then I numbered the flyers and I will end with a Rock Kestrel.

So in sequence I will number the flyers. First here below we had 2.
They are Hadida Ibis birds (Bostrychia hagedash).

Then we had 3.
Three Pied Crows (Corvus albus) playing in the high wind.

And here below was 4.
They are Egyptian Geese (Alopochen aegyptiaca).

Then we had 5.
Five Kelp Gulls (Larus dominicanus).

And here were 6 more Kelp Gulls.

And I will end the flyers with 9 Seagulls in perfect formation.

Finally, we had a Rock Kestrel (Falco rupicoloides).

I am not one that likes to moan, but these powercuts are really debilitating as they destroy everything that we try to build up. Students can't work on their machines. They sit outside in the sun. So do the factory workers and most people in other occupations. The land lies lame during the powercuts and even the farmers struggle. Not even to mention the destructive effects that the powercuts have on our country's economy.

We are already battling with the highest unemployment numbers in the world and the powercuts contribute to the misery all around us these days.
But such is life, and we just have to try and do our best under the circumstances.
At least we can find an escape into nature, where everything works in perfect order.

At least the birds do not need electricity for their wings to fly and our legs will not lose power either when we walk:)

And That's All Friends.

The kite is hovering around looking for it's prey to capture. Nice shots ❤️. I hope you get back power in your area. It makes work easier for everyone.

Thank you and yes, the kite was out hunting prey.
We will continue to struggle with power cuts for many more years.

Thanks for the token. Can't nothing be done about it to keep it stable? I mean the power cut?

I'm surprised about that, I thought the machinery ran on gas 😲

So true 🙌

The machines are not the problem as most farm now have electronic systems that regulate their irrigation systems and water pumps. They switch the pumps on and off and nothing works if there is no electricity. Modern farming has seen a multitude of applications that work with electricity.

Maybe it would be wise to have some that work without electricity?

Now that you say this, one farmer here has adopted the ways of old and he is plowing his lands with horses pulling the plow. So yes, maybe everyone should return to the methods of the past without electricity.

Horses don't need any gasoline either, and their emission is fertilizer :) ... So much better for everyone!
