South Africa -- 16
These pictures were taken on a June 2005 trip guided by Etienne Marais. Birding sites were mostly east of Johannesburg, approximately from St. Lucia to Kruger National Park and including Sani Pass into Lesotho. We are happy to make these pictures available to our friends for their personal use, but they are copyrighted and should not otherwise be reproduced without permission.I am processing the pictures from this trip in reverse chronological order. The links that are currently posted are complete (that is, I will add no more pictures to them). They represent roughly the last 1/3 of the pictures from the trip.
