It is Christmas today, and we all wish you a Happy Christmas, with plenty of gifts, good food, and the company of family and good friends.
We all had a great day in Kruger Park yesterday, and tried desperately to find a “Santa Bird” – one that had red colouration with a white chest. I couldn’t even exactly even imagine such a bird, so settled on the White Fronted Bee Eater as the best trade-off. So here he is – if you don’t like the choice as Santa, consider him Santa’s Little Helper; he certainly put us in a good mood for Christmas.
