Cape Fear (1991)

"Let's get something straight here. I spent fourteen years in an eight by nine cell, surrounded by people who were less than human. My mission in that time was to become more than human. You see? Granddaddy used to handle snakes in church, Granny drank strychnine. I guess you could say I had a leg up, genetically speaking."

So today I got to do quite a long birding session (2 hours) and although I didn't manage to recognise and identify everything what I did get was super cool:

So starting off we have quite a ubiquitous beastie in the form of this Elegant Grasshopper. There was a bunch of these little guys hopping around at every step I took which led me to think about how dogshit they are at being inconspicuous. I thought about this for two more seconds and realised they probably are poisonous and lo and behold. I probably shouldn't touch with bare hands but... hey ho, I'm not throwing my guts up so I'm good!

Next up is this Southern Red Bishop which I misidenitified as a Barbet instead... Merlin describes this guy as "dumpy" which is all you need to know. Also a Sombre Greenbul... whys she sombre? Idk but she refused to turn around and look at the camera >:[

A Cape Bulbul eating from a cactus! It took a few the fruits and flew off.

A Speckled Mousebird! Possibly one of the most angelic looking birds while flying due to its long flowing tail and light colour scheme. When it's landed though it always looks so confused... like it doesn't know why it's here. Which same.

And finally (for birds anyways), I got to see a classic, the small brown bird. Although this time I could actually identify it as (what I think is) an Eastern Lapper Lark:

I also got to see quite a fun little guy in the form of a Dassie/Rock Hyrax chilling on a cliff edge... that Hyrax really Rocks huh...

I also luckily got to see a Knysna Turaco however they flew off before I could get a good picture or any picture at all in! I will hopefully get to see another before I leave...

“Hydra’s Pinwheel” by Peter Ward.

Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille first observed what later became known as the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy on 23 February 1752 from the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa. This image, taken exactly 270 years later, combines a deep set of H-alpha exposures along with color data to highlight the ruby-like star-forming regions of this beautiful barred spiral galaxy.
