Here is an update of some birds we've been seeing around site lately.
  • Trumpeter Hornbill
  • Hoopoe (lots of them)
  • Cinderella Waxbill (locally common but red data book status globally - near-threatened)
  • Greyheaded Kingfisher
  • Drongo (lots of them)
  • Yellow Billed Ducks
  • Dabchick
  • Cardinal Woodpecker

Unfortunately I don't have photos of all of them but below are some taken by Pierre, Henk and Sally.
