Africa Wild

Next visit - 24 April 2015.

Blackwinged Stilts.



Grey Heron.


Sacred Ibis.


Greyheaded Gulls.



A new one for me at Rondebult: Wattled Starling.


Hiding in the reeds, one of three Blackcrowned Night Herons.


More Coots.


And a lifer. A juvenile African Marsh Harrier.

The sacred ibis is great

Lovin' ALL of 'em!

cute little coots almost the same like mine

love too the birds in flight, like the Still and the Ibis
and the others

Well done on the Marsh harrier and some cool bird in flight actions, I am impressed, you really manage to get them

Thanks again guys!

I'm getting behind with these reports.

Next one was on Midwinter's Day - 21 June.

Not much to see, just some Coots, Gyppos and Gulls.

I had some better luck on 22 August.

A peacock was displaying beautifully, it's a pity there wasn't a better background.





The object of his desires was being suitably awed.


Some black and whites - Pied Avocets and Blackwinged Stilts.

A fire had been through the reserve and it was looking a little sorry for itself. The last of the wooden hides has been destroyed.


The Whitethroated Swallows are back and were also getting frisky.





An unlucky frog was brunch for a Greyheaded Gull.


Grey Heron.


And some waders that I haven't identified.

High quality photos I love the swallows

The peacock presented himself amazingly, BluTuna,

great shots of the stilts and avocets as well
