Black-throated wattle-eye and Pel’s fishing owl

A recent local rarity at Mapungubwe National Park was this Black-throated wattle-eye, photographed by Chris de Blocq … very unusual so far west along the Limpopo.

Poachers’ Corner is also a good place to regularly find Pel’s fishing owl (Photo © Roy Ballantyne).
