Today I spent some time sorting through the bird photos that I have taken in the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park over the last two weeks. The collage includes Black Headed Heron (male and female), Jacana, Helmeted Guineafowl, Crested Guineafowl, Three banded Plover, Natal Francolin, Wattled Plover, Burchell's Coucal, Water Thick-knee (aka Dikkop) Little Egret and a Lesser striped Swallows

Another wonderful day spent in the Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park
The view "atmaggieztree" is pretty much the same as it was last week
The day started off rainy and rather grey!
My favourite photo of the day is of moments of interaction between these Crested Guineafowl
They were taking turns to preen the other's crest
These are normally very skittish birds and I have never been able to get a good photo.
Last weekend I saw only four Rhino - this week Rhinos were spotted in all the areas that we visited.
The Park is very green at the moment and it is obvious that the animals have plenty of mud to bathe in!
These "Rhinoses" are selling for R30 at CNA to raise funds for the plight of the Rhino
As we all know, Rhino poaching has really got out of hand this year!
Nine de-horned Rhino carcasses were found in Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park in September.
(another four decayed carcasses were discovered this month)
