Update on Blue crane numbers at Etosha
Our visit to Etosha over the Easter weekend (10-13/4/09) turned out to be a bumper one. Although our main reason for visiting was to show Claire the full pan, we also looked for cranes and other birds. On Saturday we drove to Namutoni looking for cranes all the way. At the Salvadora road junction we spotted our radio bird with her/his parents quite close to the road near the gravel pit. A quick check with the receiver confirmed that this indeed was "the" bird. At the Halali seep we saw two birds but could not see any rings because of the high grass (it was actually quite funny to see the park from the tourist perspective i.e. from our low little Golf rather than a high Landcruiser!).
