Bird Watching

We went to the dam yesterday late afternoon. Unfortunately I don't have any photos to post but for those of you who are interested in bird watching, these are the birds we saw there (Afrikaans names in brackets) :

• Hamerkop (Hamerkop)
• Little Grebe - also known as Dabchick (Kleindobbertjie)
• Kingfisher - it was either the Grey-Headed (Gryskopvisvanger) or Brown-Headed (Bruinkopvisvanger) - we're not sure
• Pied Kingfisher (Bontvisvanger)
• Malachite Kingfisher (Kuifkopvisvanger)
• African Jacana (Grootlangtoon)
• Yellow-Billed Duck (Geelbekeend)
• African Black Duck (Swarteend)
• Great White Egret (Grootwitreier)
• African Darter (Afrikaanse Slanghalsvoel)

I'm also lucky enough to see a lot of birds at home because the houses are right on the edge of the forest. Next time, I'll list the birds I usually see from my kitchen window.
