SATURDAY CRITTERS - Lifupa Conversation Lodge (Part 15 )

Once again I am with the guide in the early morning walking round the  lake.  These are Yellow - billed Ducks below and I have a video of them at the end of the post.  I also saw the African Jacana and the smaller Lesser Jancana as well as the Spur-winged Goose.  













I hope you enjoyed this post even through they asre not great photographs.

    We had Yellow-billed ducks and African Jacana on the dam where Grant and I birded regularly, just outside the mine village of Mwadui, Tz. We didn't see Lesser Jacana so you were indeed blessed! Have a great weekend. Jo

    I agree with all above Margaret, the yellow billed duck is a beauty. Really enjoyed the video, I called P in to have a look, he's a pretty keen birder also.
