The road to Spreetshoogte

Part of the joy of travelling in a new country (even when it's so hot and without air con!) is that you often see a lot of new species just travelling around, without even visiting specific sites.

Our first road trip proved to be as productive as we'd hoped, adding African Pipit:

Cape Glossy Starling:

Kori's Bustard: 

Monteiro's Hornbill:

Pale Chanting Goshawk:

Pearl-spotted Owlet:

A Sociable Weavers nest (the birds didn't hang around to be photographed!):

A Southern Yellow-billed Hornbill:

African Wood Owl, one of a pair Helen spotted roosting in a roadside tree:

The view was also spectacular:

Onwards then to Spreetshoogte.
