Experiences with species

On our last day in Namibia, before heading to Kasane for a stopover, we stopped at the Engen garage to top up with petrol. Hanno heard the Turaco calling, and it was located in a tree above some chalets, right next to the petrol station. It was only recently split from the similar Livingstone's Turaco, which was also split from the Knysna Turaco fairly recently.
