They also from Addo, Peej?

I'm not sure where they were introduced from RP, but Addo would make sense

Thanks everyone for the comments and tagging along

Birding

MZNP is apparently home to a really vast array of bird species. I can't remember the exact figure but I was really amazed at the number when a guide once mentioned his personal tick list...

Having said that, the park can often seem rather empty of birdlife until you really start looking for them. We're not massive birders, so these were just some of the species we managed to spot during the stay.

One of the more common birds of prey - the Pale Chanting Goshawk

Hoopoe




With a kill!!

Double-Banded Coursers on Ubejane Loop




Three-Banded Plover treading on thin ice




First time I've seen a Gabar Goshawk




Always good to see the Oxpeckers doing well - this time hitching a ride on a Gemsbok

Must agree they have plenty of bird life there

Cool birds.

Exquisite photographs, I must say, Peej!

That goshawk really is pale!

Was the other bird really on ice?

The plover on ice is unique and priceless!
