It was a relatively quiet in Moremi today.
The rains have now filled most of the pans and animals are able to access water closer to their food supply.
After spending the last 15 months in Moremi, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing the bush like never before.
Pel’s Fishing Owl (Scotopelia peli). Sightings are becoming more regular and these owls are now spotted on a monthly basis.
Sightings of the Slender Mongoose (Herpestes sanguineus) are not as fleeting and they are always entertaining to watch.
Watching how an adult Black-winged Stilt (Himantopus himantopus) tries to drown a juvenile was a violent affair.
These lovely feline’s spoor is seen nearly everyday and incredibly 2 African Wild Cats (Felis lybica) were spotted in the last 3 days.
The Black Crake (Amaurornis flavirostra) is my latest first sighting.
I’m certain that moremi still has a lot more to show me.
