Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Birding in Africa

Very quickly, to hitch hike on Mule Deer's theme......When I hunted Namibia several times, I quickly realized the routing usually included going back to camp (if we were remotely close) for lunch, rest, and a nap. I'm not a napper, so I asked the PH if he would drop me off at a water hole after lunch while they napped. I was armed with my camera and binocs, birdwatching. I was amazed at the bird life there in the desert to say the least. Without a doubt the most beautiful bird I had ever seen showed up several times. I did not take this picture, but I described the bird to the owners and they knew exactly which one it was, a lilac breasted roller. Incredible is all I can say.
