Namibia day two

This morning, while I waited for the group to arrive, I did a bit along the promenade and then went to town to buy a battery charger (still no sign of my bag and by the sounds of nobody knows where it is). While I had the taxi driver we did a diversion to the Birds' Paradise wetlands HERE,

Then I had lunch and a rant to the baggage company before meeting the group and we set off for Rooibank for some larking HERE and then it was back to Birds' Paradise wetlands HERE. I had 10 lifers today taking me to 3600 species for the world-HERE. The bird year list is on 979 edging closer to the 1000 in a year target.
