Visit to Intaka Island - 12 March 2009

Thursday 12 March 2009
A Visit to Intaka Island accompanied by John Linden and Andre Swart.
We had a great walk, and enjoyed our picnic lunch in one of the two bird-hides.
A pair of Malachite Kingfishers gave us a wonderful show, chasing each other and flew right up to the hide. I took some smashing photographs
