Crowned Crane.

Superb bird which I
does not know very well unfortunately

Grey Heron

It is a real pleasure to watch it hunting its food.

Marabou Stork

It is ugly and not very attrctive in a first
look, but it is funny with its three
hairs on its head !

Pied King Fisher

Splendid bird which niche in a hole dug in the soft
bank of the rivers. I watched the " offering "
of a small fish by the male to his female

Starling

It is very black, but at a certain angle to the sun
it becomes blue metal and splendid !

Roller

Along with Sunbirds, it is one of the small birds of Africa
which is most colourful and very wary!

Yellow Weaver

An unforgettable spectacle, to see Yellow Weaver knitting their nests.
They look for grass, return to the nest, prick the end of the grass into
the wall of the nest, to construct the outside first, then work towards
the interior.Then they put their head in the nest and seek the bit which
they have just inserted, draw it towards outside, then weave through the wall.
They do this many times, until the end of the grass, then seek another bit
and continue until the nest is finished !

Do you know why the Yellow Weaver make their nests
at the end of a branch ?

To prevent that the snakes come gober theirs eggs
