Helmeted
Guineafowl
In this short video look out for other birds such as White
–faced Whistling ducks and Hadeda Ibis and a couple of Hippos having a tussle in the background. You will hear cutlery because we were waiting for our meal (see below). These Helmeted Guineafowl were not far away.

Is
that woman ever going to stop taking photographs of us!
Missus, hope
you remember not to come out of your sleeping hut
as we pass by later to get
something to eat!
Yes
Missus, we are the most dangerous of animals on earth!
CLICK HERE to see what I mean. You better believe me!
Hey
boys, wait for me!
I hope you enjoyed seeing the light fading, the colours on the birds and animals changing, culminating in this soft beautiful sunset sky.
Tomorrow I will show you how birds get a piggy back on the Hippos in WBW.
Thank you for visiting and also for leaving comments on this post.
The ibis is stunning with his shimmering emerald wings! He may be my favorite! LOVE the hippo with his mouth open! Did you catch him yawning, or was he threatening you? The Egyptian Geese are another favorite. And the beautiful and graceful Impala.
