Woke up this morning to find the Cinderella Waxbill’s outside our room as well as the Rufous-Tailed Palm Thrush – WOW! This was followed by a delicious breakfast on the deck. We were planning on pottering around the gardens until Peter would take us out to find the kestrel later in the afternoon, when low and behold he came rushing in to tell us to follow him. He had found the grey kestrel a few kilometers away and left two of his guys standing there watching over it. Now this was just amazing to have found all three specials by 10.30am on the first morning there. Peter gave us a few more hot spots and whilst continuing with this route, he kept popping up to show us what he’d found and point it out for us. Then possibly for the first time ever on a birding trip we could have some relaxing time around the pool – so after booking many wonderful holidays this was one beauty where we could actually enjoy our splendid surroundings.We ended our day with Peter’s Sundowner boat trip, which was spectacular to say the least. And again our dinner was ready on our return – it was like living in a 5 star hotel and restaurant!
