Furthermore I am totally green about your acacia pied barbet
Hi Pumbaa. It was indeed a fantastic trip and will not be forgotten easily.
Pity my photo of the Barbet could not have been of a better quality.

For me I just hope that you will have many more such opportunities!!!,
so's we can share!!
Indeed HE it is a true blessing especially after travelling over 4000kms and arriving back on home safe and sound and the car not giving one ounce of trouble.
Thank you for your good wishes and Joan and I are so looking forward to sharing the next one with everybody.

I did not think that this photo was worth uploading onto this trip but in Addo we saw this fellow very fleetingly and our apologies for the bad quality.
I see now that it could be quite a rare species - Red-Throated Wryneck.
