we want to look out for the Southern black tit in the trees, and the brightly coloured Crested barbet. Groundscraper thrushes criss-cross the ground looking for insects, and listen for the song of the White-browed robin-chat and the noisy clattering call of the Crested francolin.

The crater, the result of a huge meteor impact millions of years ago, lies in the middle of the nature reserve and is easily accessible. But we are here with our 5D MARK 11 just for the birds, not the geology, so get your Telephoto ready and get exploring.

Always keep your eyes open for raptors, because African birds are known for that. There's a breeding pair of African Hawk-eagles, while Gabar goshawks and Little sparrowhawks dart between the trees. As owls are nocturnal, you probably won't see the Barn owl and the Southern White-faced Scops-owl, but you may well hear the tiny Pearl-spotted owlet screeching during the day.

we will begin our birding around the offices and museum, and look out for the Southern black tit in the trees, and the brightly coloured Crested barbet. Groundscraper thrushes criss-cross the ground looking for insects, and listen for the song of the White-browed robin-chat and the noisy clattering call of the Crested francolin.

Off to the river now, and, if we're lucky today, we may see one of South Africa's most brilliantly coloured and striking birds – the Crimson-breasted shrike. You may also hear the 'victor, victor' call of the Greater honeyguide. Look out too for an assortment of waxbills – the Blue, Common and Violet-eared.

On the river banks also look out for bird parties – you could spot anything from a Long-billed crombec or Striped cuckoo, to a Spotted flycatcher. Remember though that cuckoos are here only in the summer.

On the river itself you can find herons, crakes and, in the swampy areas, that most elusive and sought-after avian of all birders – the Red-chested flufftail.. if you love adventure so much, then you could join me for the shoots .when you come to Africa,  i will take you down the jungle forests where wild birds roar like the male hungry Kenyan lion...see you when you come.
