Evening Bird Songs at Thanda Lodge

In my blog message on Friday I mentioned various birds around my Thanda Lodge room.

Here are four pictures I took that evening sitting by the small pool on my porch.

They are Pied Crows (top left), a White-brown Scrub Robin (top right), a Green-winged Pytilia (bottom left) and a Yellow-bellied Greenbul (bottom right). I hope I identified them correctly (I am still a bit shaky when it comes to birds 🙂

Good night from South Africa!

A Room with a View …

Yesterday and today I moved all my stuff into Thanda House. The office is still a “work in process”, but here are a view pictures of my room at the house.

It is certainly a room with a view. The picture with the Giraffe and my car was taken from my front door 🙂

More to come …

PS: The Journey of Giraffe was made up of 18 animals – adults and youngsters!

At Thanda at last …

Today is a very happy day for me 🙂

After many years of planning to work in South Africa I have arrived at Thanda Private Game Reserve and I am enjoying a beautiful winters evening at the Thanda Lodge. I got a very warm welcome from staff members – many still knew me from my previous visits.

Tomorrow I will move into my room and my office at Thanda House.

This is a picture of the view from the porch of guest room No.9 at the Thanda Lodge (where I am typing this blog message right now).

The only sounds I can hear are the birds around the place – heavenly 🙂
