Mesmerizing Okavango Delta 2014

in the early morning mist...
flies a stork (cigogne)
The sun has already cleared the mist
the Malachite Kingfisher (Martin pécheur) sits above water lilies
Pygmy Geese (Sarcelles) swim by...
a big monitor lizard (Varan)
a female saddle billed stork (Jabiru d'Afrique) reflects in the water
while a male one flies away
Impala feeds her baby
while young ones prompt away
under the watch of the mothers
and a Francolin (perdrix)
Zebras graze by a termite mound
a trotting baby....
regroups with his mum
because wild dogs (Lyacons) hunt

runs
sniffs
and rests
Lilak Breasted Roller (Rollier à long brins)
Bea eater(Guépier)
Tawny Eagle on the watch
and the Vervet monkey (singe Grivet) with his blue scrotum
