and then a cute rattling cisticola who landed in the reeds close to the hide and Timon had once again a great time in photographing this always so active bird.





It was great to simply sit there and let the birdies come so that we only had to press the button



and our reward was a free song!



A pair of African jacanas was also around and entertained us nearly the whole time we stayed in the hide as they started from far until extreme close to where we sat with running over the water poses



and they even could run faster. Another positive aspect was that we were nearly the whole 45 minutes we stayed in the hide totally alone and so it was an amazing time we spent there.



When we were about to leave we also had luck in discovering a black crake



and we also had to look carefully when entering the hide onto the huge spider webs we had to give way whilst stooping down nearly on the ground and the same procedure had to be done again when we left the hide in order not to get caught in the trap and for me it was a good opportunity to take some close shots of the eight legged creatures.

Sweni Bird Hide today. The timber caved in and my knee was stuck for almost 30 minutes. My kids had to use stones to chip the timber away so that I could be released. Reported that to the Nwanetsi Ranger's post. Please beware. I was so happy to walk away with those scratches and bruises
