Couple of new birds observed at Nkorho

During afternoon tea break I had a chance to check what happens in South Africa. Lucky me, the above birds were on the Nkorho cam. 3 Ground Hornbills (Bucorvus leadbeateri), very nice! In addition to them at least two Burchell's Starling (Lamprotornis australis) were calling / singing close to the camera.

I opened the window to Nkorho Pan at 18:30. Lot's of bird sounds, many familiar to me but can't remember all the species anymore... But, at least some identifications: 1) Water Thick-knee (Burhinus vermiculatus) - at Nkorho Pan, new species, #81, for me, good start! 2) Egyptian Goose (Alopochen aegyptiacus) - two in the pond at Nkorho Pan 3) Common Swift (Apus apus) - flight calls at Walter Sisulu Botanical Garden, Roodeport, #82 Water Thick-knee in front and two Egyptian Geese 3) Helmeted Guineafowl (Numida meleagris) - calling loud somewhere close at Idube, new species, #83 4) African Scops Owl (Otus senegalensis) - calling far at Elephant Plains, #84 Off to bed att 22:30, looking forward to morning ;) 24.10.2013 ...
