Experiences with species

I battled for years to find this bird, until I saw one in the most unlikely of places, in Pilanesberg! Debbie and I then went on the Limpopo CWAC in February 2008, and got stunning views of the birds right next to the hide. I have also seen them since at Kgomo-Kgomo, Borakalalo and Nylsvlei.
