Maybe it was a starling, now that you mention it?
Call it what you want, it's up to the rest to prove you wrong...

The breakfast was competitively priced and service very quick and good!
No Marmite requested...
I just had a coffee, in protest!
And a tree flower outside!
Next stop was Shitlhave Dam...we were one day late as nothing was going to be drinking for months!

Quite fancy to see the cloud on the mountain there!
Borderline picked up a juvenile fish eagle seated on the dam wall!
A bit further on the rain cleared a bit, and there was quite a well=endowed elephant!

And a bit further down the H1-1 a great scenic shot of ellies on one of the granite plates there!
This was to be the only few hours of sunshine on the trip, so no danger of heatwave!

Shitlhave looks strangely empty and foggy. Winter, I suppose

The tree is an exotic orchid tree, likely Bauhinia variegata

(or Bauhinia purpurea or Bauhinia X blakeana)
In the old days landscaping of the camps involved a lot of ornamental exotic trees.
I like the elephant on the koppie
