Ndutu

 This encampment was so far off the beaten path that our driver got lost trying to get back there after our safari.

We start with  another gnarly Hyena.


A common Eland


Many Giraffe 


The Red billed Quelea - the most populous bird in the world at 1.5 billion!


At a rest stop we encountered a whole slew of birds drinking from a leaking water reserve.  

The blue-capped Codon Bleu


The Southern masked weaver


The white bellied canary

Hildebrandt's starling

A chestnut sparrow


We left that water hole for a bigger one and found this Pied Avocet.


The greater flamingo


The Cape Teal


The Spur winged Lapwing - sound redundant.


The Southern Red Bishop


Another Tawny Eagle



And a secretary bird


This black-headed heron was just posing for a picture.


This black Crake.  I wish I had a better picture.

The Black Bellied Bustard



And in the same field, Kori Bustard.  I guess Bustards stick together.




At the end of our drive we caught this lion napping.


The videos

Flamingoes out for a walk

Pied Avocet feeding

I got a couple of videos of Impalas sparring.
A good day!
