Thank you all for the ID of the birds
These birds look all the same to me

You'd better get a pair of glasses or start to study them a bit more closely
I must admit though, that most of us have difficulties with the brown ones, big or small

When i open the bird book all these brown ones looks brown and identical. And then any juvenile makes things even worse

It gets a bit better when you learn to notice specific things like the colour of the eyes, bill, bars on the tail, size etc.

It was really hot again. Driving back to Mopani i thought we won't see much.......
Then Mrs. Alf said stop..... reverse.....
Wow Wow Wow
Our first roan sighting in Kruger
We couldn't count them as most were hiding behind the thick bushes
We thought what a great day. Even though we left camp so late
Then we stopped at a waterhole with some elephant activity
We saw this grumpy upcoming tusker
The younger elephant was like.... one day i also want big tusks like you.... i want to touch them...
No
Stay away from my tusks
This youngster thought how do i use this long thing attached to my head
Cool i can use it to spray the water
While this guy couldn't wait to drink while watching the aliens carefully
