Description
The Bokmakierie (Telophorus zeylonus) has long held a special place in my heart, and I just had to add this image, as I’m sure many will understand why — it’s a bird as striking in character as it is in colour. Endemic to southern Africa, it carries a voice that seems to echo the soul of the landscape. Its song is a rich, melodious duet — a blend of whistles, clicks, and chirps that intertwine so perfectly you can almost feel the bond between the pair. The very name “Bokmakierie” comes from this enchanting exchange: the male’s bold “bok” answered instantly by the female’s softer “makierie.”
When a pair settles nearby, their presence transforms the morning. Their voices rise with the dawn, weaving through the quiet air — not just a call, but a conversation, a declaration of togetherness. To wake to their duet is a true privilege.
