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.

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.
