After that late night we started at 5:15 am and went to a jetty. Got a nice look at a Green Twinspot. Another adorable bird we couldn’t take a picture of. These skulkers! We did get these though.
Southern Boubou
Golden-tailed Woodpecker
We came back for breakfast at our beautiful lodge.
This sign is posted at the entrance:
And here is the best picture we have of
Crested Guineafowl. He sure is a strange bird.
Then we moved on to Eastern Shores and Igwalaigwala Reserve where we were on the night drive. It was kind of rainy but we managed to see a Black-bellied Bustard (another uncooperative bird. You’d think they’d want their picture taken). We also saw a
Martial Eagle. These birds live on a diet of monkeys and Duikers (small antelope)!
We also saw this Brown-headed Kingfisher. He only eats bugs.
Then we went to a park along the Indian Ocean where we were greeted with this sign.
We took a walk along the beach of the Indian Ocean.
These Vervets were all over the beach.
As we drove back to our lodge we saw these beautiful
Candy striped Poison Bulbs.
and one more time
It’s hard not to keep showing pictures of some of these animals.
