Biyamiti Weir
I was always going to leave the Park by driving via the Biyamiti weir. As I arrived moment on the weir caught my eye – it was a little Pied Wagtail. I then spotted something very special – its mate sitting on their nest.
There must have been babies in the deep cup as the adults were bringing food to the nest at regular intervals.
I had experienced all the incredible lion and hyena sightings, but this little bird on a nest was just as special, if not more.
The eye-level view provides a lovely perspective of the birds that were around, like this African Jacana and Hamerkop.
A Saddle-billed Stork arrived. He was very relaxed and came quite close to the car.
A Hooded Vulture came along for a drink.
A little tree squirrel was enjoying a snack close by.
The little Black Crake was walking on a little island of water plants when the “island” suddenly moved! Until that moment I would never have guessed that there was a hippo in the water.
I spent more than an hour at the weir. It was a wonderful way to spend some of my last few hours in the Park.
