From the side-bar you will know this is one of my two favourite African birds. And this is why! You almost pity the fish. (Click for bigger images)
Even the juvenile looks in charge of this beautiful tropical lake.

No elephants here
Elephant Marsh was named by David Livingstone because he found 800 of the pachyderms. Sadly none remain but here are a heron, a stork and an egret scared off by our airboat.
Plenty of fishermen still use the family dugouts. (Worth clicking to enlarge)
More coloured trees
Two trees from the campus. The yellow one is Cassia, one of a family of plants that produce senna laxatives. Rather ironic that senna is not available on the national formulary and we have to make do with liquid paraffin! The purple one is Solanum (see the tomato-like fruit), a family that includes Deadly Nightshade, tomato and potato.
