Hwange update:

A flight of Caspian plovers shoot over nyamandhlovu pan and past a drinking kudu!

Hwange is in its wet season now and it really has not been a good one. We had almost non-stop rain in December and then apart from some really violent storms.....we have had almost nothing since.
I have not seen the termite alate events as I have come to expect, neither the numbers of predatoy raptors here to feed on them!

But there is still some water about and at certain pans you are still seeing good birds. Just yesterday I saw the Caspian Plovers (shown in the image above) as well as Black-winged Pratincole, Ruff, Wood sandpiper, Black-winged Stilt and Egyptian goose at Nyamandhlovu pan.

We are expecting a hard dry season now as we can only really look forward to rain in about November. I will keep you posted
