Lost on the Sand River

After barely arriving at Kirkmans, in an attempt to orientate myself, I found myself lost somewhere on the Sand River. Sitting under Jackal berry and Fig trees, I was treated to a fantastic bird party involving a Bearded Woodpecker, Black Headed Oriole, Purple Creasted Turaco and then, fabulously, a dark chanting goshawk, which flew right by my vehicle. Unfortunatly, or not, depending how you look at it, an elephant bull came up from the river and pushed me up the road onward, to continue my quest to find my way around.
