Once upon a time...

We went on a boat to see birds on the banks of the Shire. The river looked especially full, but as we sat and took photos the boat became immovably stuck.

We were joined by spectators.

Isn't help supposed to be coming?

At Last!

A bit of revving, pushing and pulling.... (with Matthews in the water) but to no avail.

 Bye bye boat.

Glossy Ibis, Spur-winged Plovers, White-faced Whistling Ducks, but not in that order.

Old and young

The left-hand elephant is the oldest in Liwonde Park, just look at the size of the tusk. It has only one tusk, probably as a result of pulling down trees, but surely it must have hurt when it came out?
