Monday and Tuesday were both spent in lectures learning about birds, their beak structues, how they eat, their feathers-who knew there was so much to learn about birds!! We also spent quite a lot of time trying to identify birds from slides-some were easy, some were quite difficult=especially when you dont know what species you are actually looking for let alone what the bird is called.
Wednesday and Thursday were both spent out in the field doing game drives trying to identify as many different species of birds as we could-needless to say there was a challeng put out as to which team could identify the most birds, Team A or Team B.
We both did really well on both days, Team A ended up with 76 birds on the Wednesday while Team B ended up with 74.
Thursday we cleared the slate, so we started our counts again, this time Team B ended up with 91 birds, while Team A only had 88. (As I am on Team B, Thursday is the only day that really counts for us. Especially considering we had a slight mishap with our car breaking down, so had to tow it back to camp and get another one, thus losing us valuable searching time)
Zorbing at Rocking 4 Rhinos-so much fun!
