Birds

I already loved the birds here in Germany very much, but seeing the wonderful birdlife in South Africa I can very well understand why birding is so popular in this country.

I was absolutely amazed the first time I saw one of those tiny Malachite Kingfisher.
Like this one here on the Shingwedzi Low Water Bridge.



Some people think that Vultures are ugly....
Something I really do not understand at all, look how majestic this Lappet Faced Vulture is that we saw in KTP!



Or have you ever had a closer look at the eyes of one of those wonderful Owls?!
So mysterious...



We always love to find of the many Burchells Coucals in Kruger.
They are pretty birds.



If you are crossing the weirs in Kruger, there is always a bird nearby, even if it is "just" a Three Banded Plover....



But our most favourite places by far, are the many lovely bird hides in Kruger.
Like Lake Panic so close to Skukuza one of the biggest and busiest camps, but so quiet and peaceful.
