The Pied Kingfishers are always active. They often hunts by hovering over the water before diving and use a perch to eat their catch.





Sometimes the Hippo's give a show. The light was not great but the Kiss made up for a special moment at LP

Jan, shoes,

I really do love your pictures.

Jan, nice

Very impressive pics

One other bird always at LP is the Green-backed Heron.Prefers dense vegetation near water and breeds low down in trees.

What lens are you using? That is obviously not a 10-22.... 600?

Fabulous images Jan, enjoying your work

Thanks for sharing.

Bornfree

Truly beautiful images.
Bows down....

I am so enjoying your pictures, Jan,

they are all so beautiful and it is as if I am there - Sigh

Fantastic photos from a fantastic place -

Keep them coming.

Tx again for the comments.

I wish I had a 600mm ...but most of the images were taken with a 400mm lens

Another resident is the Reed Cormorant.

This one pose on a early cold morning with the sun rising for the perfect back lighting



Often sits with out spread wings in the sun to dry and LP have a perfect perch.

Don't know what will LP be without the Hippo's. Waiting hours for a yawn and when it happen you are to late.









And then the young one pose for a photo!!

Lekker double chins on that little hippo!
