Dag 16: Rice Fields en Wassy Steengroeve

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

Today a relatively quiet day, with only a morning walk, more than 4 hours and then with Omar looking at the photos that he and I took. I used the afternoon to sort out the photos of the last few days. It also worked out well for Omar, Ramadan started last weekend and the beginning is difficult. Omar knows another new bird species at the rice fields: the spotted amaranth, a beautiful little red finch. We also see a martial eagle, a large animal that we also saw in South Africa.
