Winter is in the air at Malilangwe. The evenings are getting cold but the days are still nice and warm.
Banyini Pan is the centre of a thriving community of birds and animals. It is such a pleasure to sit quietly at the pan and let the wildlife come to you. The birds are prolific around the pan and it is great to just spend a little time with the often overlooked smaller things in the reserve.

Hello, Darryl, this morning’s clip was particularly lovely! You are holding down the fort splendidly.
I often hear in the background of the daily clips a bird that sounds like our North American Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura). What kind of dove do you have where you are? In the Misty Dawn clip, I heard a bird making a kind of quacking noise-was it a duck? Or perhaps a frog? Last but not least, were those a pair of pintailed wydahs? It was a little hard to tell in the dark.
Enjoy your day (although it is afternoon where you are, I expect…)

These “small things in the reserve” are so powerful (even healing) that words would get in the way.
I could watch that sort of stuff all day - how lucky you are to actually be there!
