Re: Rietvlei Nature Reserve
Some more first timers for me in Rietvlei...
African Black Duck

Pin tailed Wydah

I think this is a rufous-naped lark - I sat listening to it's sharp calls...

And then I fooled around with the swallows diving down and flying close to the road... -O

and an encore for STF's Mallard - she is beautiful

Have only just managed to catch up now.
Nice pics everyone.
Joan and I are going very early Saturday morning to try catch some dawn shots.

Came across two mates yesterday...
they seemed to have a score to settle,
or was it just a power display...
