We saw the Lanner and black chested snake eagle on the drive to the hide which is in th the picnic area. At the hide the red bishops and masked weavers were busy. We had breakfast in the hide O:V

Walking back from the hide to the car, we could hear ther red chested cuckoo and searched around but could not find it

back to driving, we found a Black Shouldered Kite

Love the red bishop with the nesting material in his beak. :-)
