Well, it finally arrived! A barn swallow stranded inside the house. After a while, it found its way to an open window, resting a moment before taking off.

Swallow - zwaluw
Just the other day, I was thinking of the swallow. A bird still missing on this blog.

Mangoes
Two beautiful mangoes. These are from a garden. There are a lot of mango trees on the island. There is also a Hofi Mango (private) and of course the Parakeets love the mangoes.
But then, they love the seeds or berries of the Wayaka tree too. They come to our garden every morning for a feast.
Mirrors and Bird play
This morning I heard loud screeching and flapping of wings. Suspecting something horrible was going on, I went outside. Only to find a young Flycatcher trying to cling on to the window of our car door to see its reflection.
From the window, it fluttered to the mirror. From there it jumped down to the door again, trying to see itself in the mirror.
This play went on for at least half an hour. Sorry to not film this bird play, but I got some nice shots. Femia Cools.

The tree with the beans. Some trees can become quite big. But in our garden they are still bushes or small trees.
We know the people here, speak of Mata Galiña or Mata Ratu. There is no information about these trees, other than that the beans served as goat food.
