Almost the whole big six on Venetia!

Our new group has been so lucky in seeing 4 of the big six birds on Venetia in the short time they have been here. These include the Saddle billed stork (Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis), Southern Ground hornbill (Bocorvus leadbeateri), Kori Bustard (Ardeotis kori) and the Lappet-faced vulture (Torgos tracheliotus) the only two they haven't seen yet is the Martial Eagle (Polemaetus bellicosus) and the Pel's fishing owl (Scotopelia peli). Our group is quite keen on birding, and it gives the rest of the group exposure to the life of birds and the satisfaction in birding.
