I have notices that there is often a yearly dominating bird in summer, which is very strange :-? I have had a year with European rollers, one with red-backed shrikes, one with red hornbills etc. etc.
There was a lot of European Rollers too 0*\ I don't like them O**

We arrived at Letaba just after 13:00 and we booked in.....but our first hut had some issues O** so we got upgraded to another hut, which was very cool \O

After a bit of a rest I went for a afternoon drive.....I could not make up my mind where to go so I just drove around O**
