The dirt road winds in between rocky outcrops – kopjes, by Burchell’s Zebras and Greater Kudus. A little further, there’s a family group of Savannah Elephants with two two-year olds. Their presence indicates large mammals nearby – and only a few meters away, one Southern White Rhinoceros mother with a calf disappears among the bushes.

They are not necessarily the biggest African animals, but represented those that were considered a real hunter’s worthy prey or “game” – the African Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Black Rhinoceros, Leopard and king of the jungle, the Lion (which of course doesn’t inhabit jungle but savanna!). In Asia they are even commonly kept as pets!

Nowhere else in Africa do the preconceived ideas of the continent really exist in such living detail; tall, red-robed Maasai herding their skinny cattle, endless grasslands studded with flat-topped Acacia trees and grazed by herds of zebras and wildebeest, and dramatic volcanic calderas brimming with big game and fierce predators!

For the moment I’ll stick with the split babbler families although I may relump the laughingthrushes, ground and tree babblers per Molye et al (2012). Species are listed by family according to the order eBird spits them out to me in. Zebra Dove ( Geopelia striata ); Kota Kinabalu, Borneo, 5 January. CORACIIDAE (ROLLERS).

Can the whole family live together in harmony during the school holidays? Rhinoceros Hornbill – Buceros rhinoceros. Zebra Dove – Geopelia striata. Zebra Finch – Taeniopygia guttata. Is it wrong of me to go birding to get away from the kids now that they are at home all day? Bravo if you have.
