I discovered a place called Nkaya Pan and it was brilliant for early morning photography as the sun was right behind me

The pan in summer, by Pumbaa 2013:

On our way to Nkaya pan we spotted on the road two crested francolins
and although very much overgrown Nkaya pan was lovely and as the pan itself was not that large as the just visited Leeupan or Kumana lots of birds in an acceptable distance could be spotted but first the two resident hippos had to take a look.
It would have been a great motive if one of them was wearing some of the green on its head but this was today wishful thinking.
A pity was that a group of hadeda ibises was busy in feeding and none of them even raised its head for a picture but a beautiful black crake appeared between the long grass on the search for food.
Another grey heron could be spotted and was it in the South the sightings of green-backed herons in the central part of the park up to now the grey herons predominated. Out of the dense vegetation suddenly three waterbuck ladies arrived to quench their thirst at the pan
and on their coat-tails a lone wildebeest.
We really enjoyed this peaceful spot and the whole time we parked here we were alone and with some cookies we carried on observing the surroundings. The waterbuck ladies were extreme alert and each of them looked into a different direction to scan the area and only one of them drank whilst the other two were still on the look out.
