Day 2, Tuesday June 4, Mata Mata. Morning Drive Part 3.

We continued and I managed to click this LBJ or is it a TFP?

Then a Grey Hornbill on final approach

A Cape Glossy Starling

More beautiful scenery

We got to Dalkieth water hole in time for the morning Sand-Grouse rush hour
There was a mixture of Namaqua and Burchell's Sand-Grouse and they gave us a memorable display.
