Dawn breaks at Maxgwegana lagoon - 11:22 am
17 Jun 2009
We heard the faint roaring of lions way off to the north-west this morning and could find no tracks to suggest that the Xakanaxa pride have returned from their sortie into foreign territories. They went north off the top of Mboma island the night before last after a herd of buffalo. Ironically, we did find fresh tracks of buffalo well within their normal territory this morning.
We paused to watch the first light of day paint the still waters in Maxgwegana lagoon vivid hues of orange and gold. The dawn chorus is always a joyful orchestra of birds and insects as the diurnal world wakes from it’s chill slumber. Silhouetted ducks and geese hurry past on their way to forage for the day.
