Lockdown Day 176 - Friday 18 September

We did an early morning game drive and identified lots of birds. Our lockdown bird list stands at 254 and it's getting harder to find new birds for the list. As summer approaches; the migrants should return and we may be able to add to our list. I'm not obsessed with lists; it's much more fun to just watch the birds every day; whether it's just doves and sparrows or something more rare and more interesting. I can really recommend Robert's Birding App. We found my ellie friend Skew Tusk eating tree bark and watched him for a long time. It's amazing how dexterous his trunk is. We did get a few raindrops at night and we hope more rain will be on the way soon. It's very dry at the moment and food for all the grazers and browsers is pretty scarce.
