Nyamithi Pan, Ndumo Game Reserve
An overcast morning in late February didn't make for the best lighting for photography, but the birds were so active that we had many opportunities for getting the best shots possible.
Visible in the general, context shot above, are Pink-backed Pelican, Yellow-billed Stork, Great White Egret and African Spoonbill.
I was particularly excited with the Pelicans. I've only seen them once before in Kruger, and at a great distance, and then I've seen flying overhead in Cape Town.
They were the most active, and closest birds feeding on this morning at the bird hide.
I'll be posting more from this incredible birding/wildlife safari to Kwa-Zulu Natal..........

Wonderful action shots Sue!
Pelicans always rewarding to watch. This species prefers to nest in trees, but our Australian species generally nests on the ground (Wikipedia). Looking forward to visiting this hide one day ...
