Yesterday morning I went on a short excursion to the iSimangaliso Wetland Park (www.isimangaliso.com), one of my favourite places in KwaZulu Natal. I mainly went to do a bit of bird photography but I also captured two true wetland specialists in one shot.
Great Egrets are waders who hunt for their prey in shallow waters. They are the largest white Egret, about the same size as a Grey Heron.
Waterbucks are an antelope species very well adapted to wet, marshy areas. An oily substance prevents them from getting hoof rot, even when standing for a long time on wet ground.

From Sally Hunt— love the pictures. Christian – To let you know Jim died of a massive stroke in July. Sudden. We were shocked and devastated.
