We decided to go back to the Coot's Corner Hide.
On the way a Wattled Lapwing.
In the reeds near the hide.
A female Weaver but I'm not sure which model.
Cape Weaver.
I have no idea what this is.
Darter from the hide.
Back on the road, a Rhino surfing Cattle Egret.
And to finish off, a watchful BBJ.

Re: Rietvlei Nature Reserve through Greenies' Eyes
I had some great sightings this morning -
watching a Giant Kingfisher 'prepare' his breakfast
A Green backed heron
I was surprised to see the Burchells Coucal on the branch where I normally find the Malachite
and there are less Amur Falcons - it is also sad to see the European birdies getting ready for their travels and the whydahs and weavers changing to their winter colours.

Lovely pics, Amoli! You have become really clever compared to a few years ago 
I wish I had the patience to learn it properly 
I am SO happy that some birds are returning north
