Well done on the DWARF BITTERN Michele I have only seen one in far more likely Kruger Park in a very wet season about 9 years ago ..Rooiputs under water again ??

Just when I think there are no more birds for me to see in the KTP I managed to add another two birds to my list.

The first being Marsh Owl at Gharagab on 7/09/2021.

Hope you can see them on the image below. :)

My second new tick for KTP was an African Palm Swift flying over Mata Mata on the 10/09/2021.

Herewith proof photo :)

[nan]

you really saw all of them all together, Marsh and Barn Owl

yes I can see Marsh Owl in the first plan
never saw, well done

[Mel]

WOW, what a congregation That alone is a sighting that doesn't occur too often!

Is that a Verreaux's on the right and is it possible that there is at least one other marsh owl Maybe even more.
The feathers on some of those of which you can't see the faces don't look like barn owls. But it might be the light playing a trick.

[Lisbeth]

That's a lot of owls all together

An Owl conference!
