Perhaps you should write the report, you seem lucid today, unlike unohoo!

I would gladly write it but DD has the photos of the weekend and a report without pics just doesnt feel quite right lollol. Just to say that it was an awesome birding weekend for me as I managed to get about 16 lifers of which the highlights were the Pygmy Goose, Allens Gallinule and the White Backed Night Heron, there are a few  others which were very special - some nightjars on the night drive we did. 

Another wow for me was a Leopard that stole a monkey from a crocodile on the riverbed accross the river from our bungalow.  What an amazing thing to witness.

Re: What did you see today? (5)

That sounds amazing, Zellie, maybe DD could take his feet off his desk, wipe that soppy grin off his face and start writing this report?
I must say I really envy you the Pygmy Goose sighting.
