Birds of Pilansberg - Part 6

Yeah, yeah, I know!! Some of these are STRANGE looking birds aren't they?? LOL!! LOL!!

I stopped for coffee at a small dam and looking over the wall saw a lot of turtles coming up for a breath of air.
Warthogs were feeding on the banks but everything was still a bit dry as no rain had fallen yet.
An immature Blackshouldered Kite was posing very nicely although a bit far away.
The Pied Kingfisher was sitting on a nearby branch and...
.....looking at the fish swimming in the water below with hunger in his eyes.
