and excellent sightings 
Funnily enough Rondebult was one of the first places I visited when I got my new lens.
I was a bit weary being the only soul bar the security lady.

I was quite happy, at least you can lock yourself into the hides so you don't get any surprise visits.Amoli wrote:Excellent pics BT

Hunting cannot be considered a sport as all contestants in a sport should know they are playing the game!

Re: Rondebult Bird sanctuary
There wasn't a cloud in the sky at 06:00 on New Year's Day and I decided to head off to Rondebult again.
Unfortunately, by the time I got there at 07:00 it was completely overcast!
The sun poked its head out a couple of times but it wasn't worth staying for long.
Greater-striped Swallow.
Hottentot Teal.
Pied Avocet.
Sacred Ibis.
Gyppo flotilla.
Redknobbed Coots.
And a whole load of Greyling Geese.

These domestic geese can be aggressive if they don't like you
Is that a Sacred Ibis on a nest?
