In February and early March I attend a raptor course with Joe Grosel at Letaba and we decide to explore the north in summer. We left Letaba after learning so much about my favourite birds to stay one night at Bateleur camp after three nights at Letaba and another three nights at Punda Maria. This was a prescient visit as it was just before lock down in March 2020 and after some very good rains with most of the big rivers in flood.

We saw less big game except , no cats, but many birds of course the majestic baobab in the green season.

I attach a few of our sightings below:
