Overheard:

Dunning-Cougar effect

I will not speculate what it might mean.

My very last video from the trip to #KrugerNationalPark #SouthAfrica is of a Lioness in the shade at the end of a hot day.

Some of the other folks had already seen Red-billed Buffalo Weaver and I was getting anxious. Then, at last! With its red beak and red feet, I’ve no idea why it reminded me of @cornishchoughs.bsky.social

Not the prettiest of species but we only had one sighting of a Bald Ibis - seemed ok to me

I think this is a Rattling Cisticola but given what the Cisticola family is like (they’re all very alike) and given that #Kruger has lots of Cisticola…more than happy to be corrected

The main tour group to #Kruger
missed out on seeing the elegant Blue Crane but I was lucky enough to see them with #TheFynbosGuy Not an exciting video but a welcome sighting.

An unusual bird in the UK but plenty of them in the Kruger..... Lesser Grey Shrike. A good looking bird.

Not a difficult bird to see, plenty of them around the water pools etc. Nonetheless a nicely plumaged species - the Blacksmith Lapwing. With the added bonus of a Wood Sandpiper.

A good looking bird for a good looking Sunday morning. The colourful Lilac-breasted Roller.

Several sightings of Red-crested Korhaan on the #SouthAfrica trip but none showing the red crest. Oh well.

Zebras are smarter than birders. They stand like this so they can see more of the environment and potential predators. Birders will all stand looking the same way

Did you know Martial Eagles have extremely keen eyesight and can locate prey from six kilometers away? You do now. This one was having a preen by a tree by the track.

A Gabar Goshawk - quite pleased to have spotted this one myself as we drove by. A good species to have seen.

I saw two snakes on my trip to #SouthAfrica - both youngsters and both highly venomous. The Boomslang and the Puff Adder ....here's an 11 second video of the latter.

The Go-away-bird was named because its call sounds like it’s telling you to go away. I listened and I listened but it didn’t sound like ‘go away’. 
Then I realised I was listening in the wrong language.

We saw quite a few Tawny Eagle - with a good amount of variation in colour etc. And I am now better at telling the difference between Tawny and Wahlberg's Eagles.
