Squeezing in a bit of birding in Mauritius

A toast to a happy couple…and a lifer
A very small part of a very Big Year
A feast of reptiles in Swakopmund

Necessity is the mother of invention
The Challenge gets serious (or is that “crazy”?)
The Birding Big Day that wasn’t
A challenge of a different sort



Flufftails and other “bogey birds”


Going just a little beyond the Challenge



Getting in one more lifer for the year

A birthday weekend in the bush

Slangkop Tented Camp – a birthday campout








Timing is everything for a Cape Caco
