So even though I have been to the park numerous times...and I mean numerous times...there were quite a few "Firsts" for us as well. "Firsts" being sightings that we had not seen in the park before. Clearly the frog sighting was a "First" but besides that we had a few other exciting "Firsts" .
Unfortunately I am fighting a bit with technology this evening....so the other exciting "Firsts" are going to have to wait a until I have managed to sort out some video footage.
In the meantime I will share some " Firsts" in the bird department.
My very first photo that I took in the park was that of a White-winged Tern at Samevloeing. A "First" and unusual bird sighting for us. Who would expect to see a Tern in the KTP. And here is a photo to prove it....:)
Other Bird " Firsts" were a Kittlitz's Plover just south of Lijersdraai Picnic Site
A Cape Wagtail at Melkvlei...
and a Western Yellow Wagtail at Marie se Gat...
Cape Teals at Rooiputs and
a Common Greenshank at Kij KIj
A Red-faced Mousebird at 13th Borehole and
two Egyptian Geese at Urikaruus Waterhole.
and the only lifer of the trip was a Bradfield's Swift
