Another one incoming...

Neat to see actual wild guineas.

How cool! It is interesting seeing something wild that I've only ever known as domesticated. The pictures are gorgeous.

Outgoing.

These are really beautiful and even more so that they have to forge for all of their sustenance…except for you as their friendly neighbor. I guess they had a very good hatching season to have such a bumper crop.

[The reason this picture is dark is because it was still early morning when it was taken.]

This is the present (there have been a few) "Hop-a-long", that regularly comes for breakfast but is always the last one to show up, sometimes even after the others have left, but it quietly calls to me to let me know it has arrived and I make sure it (and its mate) gets some supplementary food. Its mate is patient and stays with it.
Hop-a-long is good at roof-hopping, going from house top to house top, rather than along the streets with the others.

Hop-a-long and mate in my yard long after the others have left.

Testing... since I am still learning the in's-and-out's of this website.

If this works, then this is a gif showing the sun trying to shine through the mist this morning.

 

[Gill-b]

Seems to have worked ***shrug***
Is the gif working for you? You should see a gif playing.
Please give me a thumbs up "like" if it is working for you.

Here is another one; this time showing a Guinea landing - also filmed this morning.

And another...
Not all the Guineas trust my dog (and I don't blame them), so they prefer to have breakfast on the other side of our gate. This gif shows a Guinea that had landed in our yard but decided to rather play it safe...
