Experiences with species

In 1980 when living in Botswana, I was horseriding and saw my first Meyer's Parrot. Since then I have not seen them on too many occassions. They are around Punda Maria in Kruger Park, we saw quite a few in Okavango when on Honeymoon, a lot at Shamvura, Namibia, and then at Mapungubwe, where this photo was taken.
