The bird life of Kruger National Park appears to be distilled into a small area surrounding the hide and they seem oblivious to the observers with their battery of lenses poking out from the wooden building. Chicks are fed by both parents who continue to feed them after they leave the nest in their third month.

White we were out there, I captured this group of Razorbills , returning to their nests, more than likely with the bellies full of fish for the young. At this point, I am going to take a short break from writing, rest a bit, get the batteries recharged and figure out what we are going to do for an encore to 2018.
