Darn, I look like a cheap copy of RP's comment...

My excuse it that I was typing while he was posting.

Hi SM! Thanks!

I think the dungy is a Large Copper Dung Beetle. https://africawild-forum.com/viewtopic.p ... 82#p142608

I love the "dung cylinder"...

Glad you also rebel against the new bird names! $\O$

The dung beetles are not as frightening as the rest!

$\O$ I only rebel against puerile bird names, what was wrong with calling it the Grey Turaco?

I think Dung Beetles could be pretty scary - imagine one hitting you in the face while you are riding a motorbike, or one landing in your dinner!

This one was trying out a new concept, the Dung Cylinder!
You always crack me up with your narration.

Love the juvenile fish eagle and obviously your attention to detail on the insects once again.
Particularly the violet shimmering dung beetle. $\O$

But the lourie is fantastic as well - and I see why you don't wanna use the new official name.
Go-away-bird? Gimme a break.

Exactly!

Glad you are enjoying my TT! $\O$ $\O$

It's impossible to be a cheap copy of RP!

Day 1, Saturday 16 November 2013. Ngwenya Lodge, Morning Drive continued.

At the Lower Sabie Bridge a Hippo was taking a siesta.

A Diederik Cuckoo was at Sunset Dam along with a juvenile and adult Jacana, a Hippo and what looks like a female weaver of some sort.

Then it was back to Ngwenya for my siesta and some more little monsters...

To be continued.....
