The sterns were still there!
The cormorant feeding is quite a complicated operation

Yes, I thought I saw Howard but wasn't sure

Difficult to tell which one is being fed!

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.

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.
