Safari Burkina Style 2!

 Here are the much anticipated walk in the woods bird photos! We need a proper camera. 

The birds in this tree are called piapiacs - related to magpies. While we were there a bird of prey stopped for a rest and unsettled them.  

Art in the woods.

Now we are at the end of the rainy season, this seasonal lake is drying up.  There are now so many fish and frogs in a condensed area.  Easy pickings for the birds.   Somewhere in this photo there are waders and pied king fishers.  The king fishers are black and white.  

 

  

Here's one the large millipedes and some sort of strange growth on Luke's face!

Also, a new species?  Yesterday a large fly landed on a painting a student was doing.  I pulled it off and it had acquired one green wing and one orange one.  

We have also been told of an area to go to  find crocodiles.   Am I up for a close encounter?  Not sure.
