I must be home-sick because last weekend I found myself browsing through my “SASOL Birds of Southern Africa&#.

Next, came small flocks of Red-fronted Parrots screeching overhead with the odd African Grey thrown in for good measure. Chocolate-backed Kingfisher , sometimes seen from the canopy walkway Woodland Kingfisher – A very common species, but always a pleasure! Truly fantastic.
