Namibia Day 2

Day 2 - Windhoek to Solitaire

We started the day with an early morning walk around our hotel, which produced only 26 lifers! Including a very close Crimson-breasted Shrike and a Bradfield's Swift.

Southern Pale Chanting Goshawk

The rest of the day produced a total of 63 bird lifers out of 65 birds seen, and 3 mammals (all lifers). The most notable birds were:
