Kruger to Canyon Birding Route
Re: Kruger to Canyon Birding Route
We leave Mariepskop and are on our way back to the Taita Site. There are a number of places on the R36 and R531 that you can stop for lunch and we decide on the Blue Cottages as it looks appealing with a nice garden and maybe some good bird sightings. As we walk towards the restaurant we see Lesser Masked Weavers and Paradise Flycatchers (PFC)
We order and I then take a walk hoping to get a good shot of the PFC. I find a couple
Male
Female
Not satisfied with these shots I follow the female around, the male having flown away already.
I follow it around and I cannot believe my eyes I call Sharifa and we forget about our order for a while. Some pictures just stay with you when you see them, forever etched in your memory. Such a picture is from a bird book by Rael and Helene Loon called "Birds The Inside Story"................
.......and here we were witnessing the very same picture from the book...........................

Such beautiful birds! And such ugly suspense.
God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
