Once they escaped and gained their freedom it appeared that they were very well able to survive in the wild. They can be quite agressive to other birds. Besides that you can consider them as guards, warning other animals when human beings or animals are getting too close.<br />The black-winged kite sometimes shows up with us, like a couple of days ago. I have seen one once during the wintertime. <br />Gazelles are very elegant. It is a pleasure to see them running. Travelling through Africa you can see impala's very often, in a way getting used to them. The other kinds of gazelle's I have not seen as often as impala's. <br />Anyway, I liked the pictures giving me a flashback of some trips I made in the past.<br />Greetings, KeesKeesvanDhttp://dommelvos.blogspot.nlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157732940953599979.post-83316804402406090862018-04-18T21:26:38.844+02:002018-04-18T21:26:38.844+02:00That should have been 'earliest' water bir...That should have been 'earliest' water birds to breed!Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157732940953599979.post-20092248342938946082018-04-18T21:25:39.921+02:002018-04-18T21:25:39.921+02:00Hi Noushka.

They are spreading rapidly and are a real nuisance, particularly as they seem to be the ealiest water birds to breed. I have mixed feelings about their appearance too - much of their plumage is magnificent, as your super images show, but I find the head to be most unattractive.<br /><br />I hope that all is well with you.
