Further downstream, an Egyptian Goose lands near another Hippo bloat, this time on the near bank. A kingfisher is already established there, waiting for fish. Another Egyptian Goose joins. A cropped photo shows the colorful kingfisher, perched on a branch.

Even further downstream, storks strut on the bank with a couple of Egyptian Geese. Across the river, a gaggle of Egyptian Geese approaches the water. Closer to home, songbirds explore the riverbank grass, and sing.

As you can tell, I am no birder. In the field, I focus on photography, not identification – then I try to narrow down the possible species back at home. Please leave a comment on a photo if you know more – we will all appreciate it. And I apologize in advance: bird identification is easier in the field than from one or two static photos.
