A bird hide in the Vrolijkheid Succulent Karoo Nature Reserve.
With the temperature rising rapidly towards 38°C
only the Little Grebes are still active, fighting territorial battles while all
the other birds seek shelter from the sun.

Fehmarn island was lovely, particularly the NABU Wallnau Wasservogelreservat (Water Bird Reserve). The only bird hide I’ve been in where the birds come in with you! Had swallows swooping in beside us, amazing.

I think this is pretty regular as they’ve put up supports for the nests, and still allow people in. I’d upload a video but it seems to be failing on here?

We also saw a few frogs, and then a water snake chasing one of the frogs!
