Finally after a long day on the road we arrived at Bateleur camp and had been welcomed by the camp Manageress heartily. Our home for our last two nights was Bungalow No. 6 for which I had requested and in which we already stayed twice. After everything had been placed away and we also successfully removed a bat hanging in the curtain in our room, Timon was strolling along the fence to the bird hide where just a beautiful and impressive waterbuck male arrived to have a drink

and after same had walked off into the bush the resident crocodile showed up from a large puddle close to the water hole.

Meanwhile I had filled up the bird bath in front of our verandah to attract some birds also one reason I wanted to stay in that bungalow again but it took quite a while until it got around between the birds that the pool had re-opened but we saw and heard a lot of woodland kingfishers, a noisy arrow-marked babbler,

and a shy kurrichane thrush

but the yellow eyed canary meanwhile dared to come closer peeping through the thick leaves

whereas the masked weaver meanwhile opened the bar and started to drink.

Finally the yellow eyed canary followed the masked weaver and quenched its thirst joined by a glossy starling.

Meanwhile we had made ourselves comfortable on one of the largest verandahs we ever had and had a great time in watching all the birdies come and go. A beautiful blue waxbill arrived

and also a huge grey headed bush shrike compared to the wax bill even was in the mode to pose a bit for Timon’s camera.
