these are from january 2012


the fever tree

one can now see how the ficus on the corner had been undercut

by the flow of the levhuvhu river

Image

some openbilled storks on a sandbank on the opposite side

Image

looking north east in the early morning..

Image

a hippo waiting for the tourists to come down the path for their sundowners....

Image

some amazing activity from the resident pied kingfisher....

Image

and the bee eaters that nest in the sandbank

below the railing on the northern side of the parking area.

Image

Image

there were hundreds and hundreds of

"brown-veined whites" flying north that january..........
