More birds were finally willing to pose such as European rollers,
another brown snake eagle
and a highlight was then already in the sunlight – same obviously chased the clouds away – a group of 7 ground hornbills
in fact on the ground who wandered as cool as ice
closer to us and in fact they were not in a hurry and took it slow. Needless to say that it looked extreme funny
whilst coming closer and closer and luckily presently no other car arrived as most likely same would have chased them away and we let them come closer to us
but far too soon for our liking one after the other decided to take off
and finally all of them landed in a nearby tree where they were not that good visible.
Around the next corner in a more open area we noticed a lot of Carmine bee eaters who nearly had occupied all branches and when they left same they most likely landed again on that branch
so we often had something to be seen and photographed and it took nearly ages until we could carry on
as also a glossy starling was around
and for sure Timon could not be dragged away from the masses of different carmine bee eaters.
Besides the birds we already saw the road was more or less quiet but as also not many cars were driving on same we enjoyed the drive nevertheless. I suppose in the middle of that road there is a larger pond and also this year same was quite good filled and the weavers were busy in again building nests
and we spend quite a while watching them as no other water birds nor any other animals could be seen.
