During my breakfast Omar walks a productive round with my camera. After all, during Ramadan he eats at different times than I do. He takes beautiful pictures of a Lizard Buzzard, which also has enough insects. After breakfast we walk around the lodge. With a speaker we pull a Western Bluebill, a rare bird with indeed a blue beak. The pictures are again by Omar. He also takes very nice pictures of a Green Woodhoopoe. This bird is quite long, and often looks black. But in good light it is very beautiful. A new honeysucker and a cattle egret that has caught a frog.
