Sossusvlei

We invite you to experience Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge in the NamibRand Nature Reserve, Southern Africa's largest private nature reserve. Venture from this supremely elegant, remote retreat into the starkly compelling Namib, daily etched anew in hues of bright orange and blue.

Black-eared Sparrow-larks

We reported Black-eared Sparrow-larks as new birds in 2006 for our bird list. In 2007 I don't recall seeing any, but this year we started to see them towards the end of February. First just a few, but now they are some of the common birds when driving out in the grassy areas. Why this shift? Has this happened before? We don't know.
