Jorbeer Conservation Reserve

While we were still in the

close to a water channel
... and then he came
up to give this wonderful
recording ...

Great video Alok.

By the way, I told my sister there were Grey Francolin around her place. Told her to listen to a bird that sounds like "Seersucker". And she identified it :)
