Get a rice bag too support it... or corn or such [O]

Maybe not that exciting, but still a great variety - beautiful scenery and different kind of animals and birds respectively. :-0 ^Q^ O:V

Love those synchronized (or rather mirrored) giraffes \O

Often the window sill is not high enough so even a beanbag is of no help ;-) I used to bring one, but this time I forgot 0*\

But you can decide how high the window goes :-? Or are you talking about a different window than the one of your car?

I had decided to go to Lake Panic Hide, but first I passed by Nyamundwa, where there was a bit of small "stuff" ;-)

BTW if you do not care for birds, you'd better stop here, because that's all that you will get O**

A fish-eagle

Image

A parade of cattle egrets

Image

Common Greenshank with a butterfly included

Image

The goslings were still there, on the other hand, where else could they go lol

Image

A Common Buzzard

Image

but it flew away

Image

Nursery

When I arrived at the Lake Panic hide, there were only two other cars......and inside only two persons O/\

To catch the Jacana, I had to lean over the railing ;-)

Image

Today the big darter had taken up the pole position in spite of the cormorants :twisted:

Image

The white-breasted cormorants were occupying the rest of the big dead tree

Image

Image

In a few days time, the water lilies will be in bloom

Image

It looked as if the darter was going to dive

Image

Image

The remaining cormorant whose place had been taken up by the darter had had to take possession of another dead tree
