My first #birdoftheday ( 2 today as we head home to NH ) is the humble but beautiful Cattle Egret. A companion bird to many mammals but also other birds. These were at #kommetjie

The elegant Pied Avocet is my #birdoftheday - the 3rd photo shows it’s size compared to a full. It’s widespread particularly though southern and Eastern Africa. First time I managed to photograph it was yesterday at the tip of Africa.

Last #birdoftheday for this holiday is the Sacred Ibis. A scavenger for the most part - similar size to the Hadeda Ibis.
