Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments $\O$

Eyes shut again Flutts? Whitefaced Ducks are common, even in Kruger - they sound like asthmatic squeaky toys.

Now for some more pictures. These were the first pictures I took with my brand new Nikon D7200 on 3 April (Good Friday).

Lovey dovey Ducks.

Sacred Ibis with brunch.

EGs.

With their new family; strangely, this was the only time I saw these goslings - I wonder what happened to them?

This might be Fugly the Moorhen.

Something different, a freshwater Crab.

Blacksmith Lapwing.

Crowned Crane.

EG closeup.

The resident Tortoise at the Blue Crane Restaurant.

And finally, as I was leaving I noticed a ring around the Sun. This is caused by sunlight refracting through ice crystals high in the atmosphere. It happens once or twice a year.
