— and link that to something abut the Great Grey Owl and my BFF Analiese Miller who is an amazing, emerging, photographer who has recently trained her 300mm Cannon F4 lens on the birds (including the Great Grey) at Sax Zim.

Faustus’ opening monologue by heart as it is such an impressive chain of thoughts for anyone immersed in studying natural sciences.

A range of animals come to satisfy their need for salt or the soothing effects of the clay along the river banks of the region. UNLESS that is you get yourself down to the internationally-renowned Tambopata Research Centre in southern Peru where literally hundreds of macaws (and other parrots) congregate around a 50 meter high clay bank.
