Atlasing 3015_3010

After a week of misty - drizzly weather I decided to go out atlasing yesterday, and this is what what turned up - two pairs of Pygmy Geese.

I have seen one pair in the area, but never two pairs, this is such an amazing blessing, I hope that they are happy on this dam and feel safe enought to settle down and breed. When they swam across the dam I managed to get a photo of these tiny geese, together with Egyptian and Spur-winged Geese all in one frame, its a very long distant photo but its amazing to have seen all three togetherOther specials were two African Fish Eagle feeding youngsters on the nests, A Broad-Tailed Warbler and Red Headed Quelea.
