Kingfishers
In addition to the many Woodland Kingfishers that I saw, I saw a few of the other species as well. On the sunset drive on the Sunday Evening I saw my first Giant Kingfisher. I saw him again the next day, but these were the only two sightings I had of this one.
I saw a few Pied Kingfishers, but most of the time they just flew past like rockets or were too far away for photos. The fourth kingfisher species I saw was the Brown hooded kingfisher.
Korhaan
We saw a couple of Red-crested Korhaans during our birding drives with the Honorary Rangers. A couple of days later I saw one hiding in the grass.
I was driving back to camp o the S131 when I saw a male and female sneaking across the road. I wonder if they think that if they walk in slow motion in open areas they won’t be seen? It is so cute to watch them sneak on their tippy toes!
Kudu
I am really surprised at how few Kudus I saw. I think I saw less than 10 during the entire trip. But the couple of photos I managed once again confirms that these animals are very pretty.
