Dag 13: Tendaba Forest Shelter en Tendaba shelter

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds NL EN

Saturday is a quiet day, we don't drive much. It's chilly in the morning and the weather is nice at the river. Today is the first day of Ramadan, the period in which good Muslims do not eat or drink during the day. With the heat I'm glad that I'm allowed to drink. The morning in the hide yields little because there are kites flying around all the time. Late in the afternoon we go to another hide, where the birds come very close. Beautiful birds pass by, francolins, glossy starlings, a Greater Honeyguide, a shikra and monkeys. Beautiful photos of species that we had already seen.
