Thx all.:)
Yes I was quite pleased with my birding.
All in all I saw 91 different species...I did not manage to photograph them all. My little bit of excitement was seeing two Yellow-billed Oxpeckers. I had a good visual of them through the binoculars but as I put Bins down to pick up camera they flew...faaaaar away never to be seen again...which left me a tad grumpy :twisted:
I never saw the Denham's Bustard but saw 4 Ludwig's. I also never found a Blue Korhaan...but hey I cannot have it all. I was also very pleased to see Dusky Indigobird, Amur Falcon as well as Yellow-throated Petronia. I did get them on camera but I'll save myself the embarressment of posting those photos.... =O:
