23.10.2013 I will stay now at Tembe / Nkorho Pan / Idube / Elephant Plains and Walter Sisulu Botanical Garden , South Africa plus excellent Pete's Pond at Botswana for few days and try to identify all the birds I hear and see there. 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 ...
