There really wasn't much to see so we continued back to Sunset dam and parked off for a while where a yellow billed stork was fishing O:V

A black winged stilt came close to where we were parked ^Q^

Image

The resident hippos were generally lazing around, but a couple of youngsters were learning how to settle arguments \O

Image

Some movement in the air caught my attention and I couldn't quite believe my eyes - an African Skimmer cruising around O\/ O\/ O\/

It was quite far away so my photos don't really do the sighting justice, but it's a real rarity and a guide even came up to us to ask if we had seen it because it was so special X#X

Parking off next to a yellow billed stork....

Image

We drove along the parking area as close as we could get to the skimmer - one last shot and then it appeared to be going to sleep O:V
