Africa Wild

thank you all

ExFmem, if I follow a little bit the habits, I can find interesting activities

Flutts, thank you

RP, no, this is a design in the stone path to go to the hide... just before the dark forest

Liz, most of them are "de passage" (migration) and sometime one or two new species. Some species like Grey Herons and Cormorants are nesting around now.

Mel, Lifer often only pass... from North to South (at the moment)
right a chance the Beaver ate "only" a tree... a very big one we still can go to the "octogone" (open to the public) but no hide and if somebody come when the "moustaches" are here... nothing for me...only the reeds

All-Nature, each outing is different but sometime almost nothing... only Coots or after I left

Pumbaa, now we are waiting for waders, and maybe some more lifers

on the 24th... I missed more than hundred of White Storks at the other place
they stay the night and went to Geneva in the next morning... I heard that only the 25th... too late to go to the other place before the take off of all these birds

We have grey herons and cormorants here too and lately a lot of Eurasian magpies. They did not use to be here

Magpies come to my balcony to have water... drinking and bathing

Here they have started to appear only this year

they nest in a big tree next to my window... too high to have pictures of the chick(en)

Outing 18-24.8.2017
