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.

As I returned from a town trip I decided to drive back home through iSimangaliso Wetland Park (Eastern Shores) and stop at a small waterhole. I only had my mobile phone with me so I took a few pictures through my binoculars.
In total I counted 15 different species, which came for a drink during the 20 minutes I stopped at the water.
Species list: Spur-winged Goose, Egyptian Goose, Yellow-billed Kite, Hadada Ibis, Blue Wildebeest, Waterbuck, Nyala, Warthog, Pied Kingfisher, Barn Swallows, Red-breasted Swallow, Black-bellied Bustard, South African Giraffe, Burchell’s Zebra, and Common Buzzard.

Despite their name, Waterbucks are actually not aquatic. Rather, they are frequently found in the vicinity of water sources. They will often venture into the water to escape predators 😊
