A few pictures for the birdwatchers amongst you, just fantastic birdlife, we could sit all day on our balcony and see birds like these hornbills, 3 different sorts so far. Don’t even need to leave our wine and beer! And a big THANK YOU to Kate and Gareth for their Christmas present of a detailed bird book and to Lorraine and Chris for their borrowed one, we need them both and even then have to ask the Ranger for the really difficult ones.
Also seen lots of birds of prey, luckily we had a ranger to help us out with what they were, difficult as always. Even the brightly coloured ones cause problems, there are pages of yellow birds just when you think you must be able to find that one! This woolly necked stork below was in a water hole with dozens of kites flying around and several other large water birds, it got attacked by the kites but not sure they were after a baby or just its food.
The bird count and list is increasing by the hour, positively exhausting, and writing this after only 2 days (will be posted a few days later when we get to wifi land again), the wetland area is still to come.
