Here we go ...
89. Marabou Stork. :)
Seen at Polentswa 10/02/2022
There were in fact hordes of Marabous in the park . I saw 38 on one day and I met up with another birder that had actually seen 98 at one sighting.
February was my best bird count ever - 102.
The only other new bird for me was a Harlequin Quail but unfortunately no photo....:(
