In December, my family and I went to Kruger for safari. I decided to split up my posts because I am too indecisive to give you a top 10 best of. It also means that I get to subject my three readers to multiple photos of birds. Part 1 is here and Part 2 is here. Above, a vulture tree.
A European Roller. Not to be confused with...
...the lilac-breasted roller, the most-photographed bird in the Kruger National Park.
Weaver bird colony (mostly masked weavers, I think).
The yellow-billed hornbill
The southern ground hornbill, which is endangered. This is the kind of thing that gets me pretty excited. Even better... 
...was the saddle-billed stork, which is also endangered and a bit more attractive than its horn-billed counterpart. It was one of those lucky moments where, after seeing a ridiculous amount of game throughout a ten-hour-plus drive, we happened upon this pair just inside the park gate.
