Congrats on the Francolins!! $\O$ They're a bit far from the Orange River!

At the meet, a Groundscraper Thrush was hopping about on the grass nearby.

And as we left for the gate, a Bokmakierie was seen in the roadside shrubs and a Black Crake was at the weir.

Thanks for driving me around the reserve Amoli and for your wonderful company throughout the day.

Nice pic of the Bokmakierie - he was playing hide and seek, and I wouldn't come to a stop with the car...

Here is my contribution of the Orange river Francolin – a lifer

I saw a duiker-bokkie for a nice close-up

And an ostrich taking/doing a dust-bath

A first in Rietvlei for me - Cardinal Woodpecker

If you have the patience, Rietvlei is much more than what it looks like at a first sight $\O$ $\O$
