Today’s prompt for JusJoJan is captivating.

The word captivating means ‘capable of attracting and holding interest’. Other similar words that come to mind are enchanting, fascinating and engaging. How wonderful it is when we find something or someone captivating. I love this word as it conjures up images of curiosity, fun and delight.

What do I find captivating? The first thing that comes to mind – birds. They are such fascinating little creatures. I can sit at the window facing my garden and watch them for hours. If the sprinkler is on it is fun to watch the different groups coming and going, The sugarbirds, weavers, sparrows and witogies are the most common but others often join it too. Sometimes there will be a mix of species but usually, they take turns. When one decides to leave the scene the others follow and then they return in waves. 

I love to watch them at the birdbath too. The same seems to happen here with the different species taking turns. There is of course always the bully who chases his subordinates away.  Hereunder is a selection of visitors on sprinkler day. Click on each to enlarge.
