Bustards & Korhaan - Bird of the Month November 2013 *

Last March we watch a pair of kori bustards defending their waterhole against the springboks.
It was quite interesting to watch how the springbok would give way to the bustards.









Now, who's the daddy?



Whenever there was a springbok drinking too close for the bustard's comfort,
he would chase the antelope off:

This Kori Bustard was trying to mind his own business, but the Carmine Bee-eaters kept harassing him trying to catch the insects that will be flushed out of the grass as he walks through. The Bustard was so annoyed and tried to get away from them, but they just kept being in his face... This was during March this year in Kruger on the S50 near the Nshawu marsh near Mopani.
