Please refer to detailed checklists at end of the report for all species seen on this specific tour. Trip Report Day 1: 5th November 2013 ~ Windhoek Our group met up for our Namibian adventure under partly cloudy skies at Hosea Kutako International Airport, situated about 30 minutes from Windhoek, and after getting all the introductions out of the way, we loaded up our vehicle for the short drive through to our accommodation for the night. Upon arrival we opted to all have some time off to relax after all the travelling, before setting off for a late afternoon stroll through the grounds of the lodge. Although only a short walk we still managed to notch up Barred Wren-Warbler, Crimson-breasted Shrike, Chestnut-vented Warbler, Black-chested Prinia, White-browed Sparrow-Weaver, White-rumped Swift, Southern Masked Weaver, Greater Striped Swallow and Dusky Sunbird. After a chance to have a quick shower we had a tasty dinner before settling in for a good rest before the proper start of our trip. Day 2: 6th November 2013 ~ Sossusvlei Our first full day of the tour started with an early outing to the nearby Avis Dam where we kicked off our list with some of the more common Namibian species such as Black-chested Prinia, Dusky Sunbird, Familiar Chat and Marico Flycatcher, whilst a nice find was a pair of Orange River Francolins which, after a fair amount of searching, posed very nicely and allowed everybody to have fantastic views of this often tricky species. The dam itself did have several Swifts about, and besides several Common Swifts, we did eventually end up having good views of Bradfield’s Swift, with a pair of these birds offering several viewing opportunities whilst drinking and feeding over the surrounding hills. The dam itself did hold a few waterbirds, with African Fish Eagle being a nice surprise, whilst the waters edge turned up Common Greenshank, Common Sandpiper and Cape Teal. From here we headed back for breakfast, finding Lesser Masked Weaver in the process, before loading up the vehicle for the drive through to Sossusvlei, via Reheboth to the south. The initial part of the drive wasn’t particularly eventful with Lawson’s Birding, Wildlife and Custom Safaris; www.lawsons-africa.co.za;

just a few of the regular species to be seen, although once we turned off onto the dirt road through to Spreetshoogte pass we bumped into species such as Pale-chanting Goshawk, Sabota Lark, Karoo Long-billed Lark, Pale-winged Starling, Common Swift, Bradfield’s Swift and Great Sparrow. Eventually we reached the Spreetshoogte Pass where we admired the view whilst having our packed lunches, with one of the highlights being a pair of Verreaux’s Eagles soaring in the distance, whilst a Rock Kestrel was also in attendance. As we were about to leave though, disaster, the car had decided it was going nowhere! We spent a fair amount of time trying to sort it out, before eventually getting the lodge to come and collect the group and take them through for the 45 minute drive to camp, whilst I had an uneventful wait on the top of the pass for a mechanic to come through from Windhoek, before eventually getting to the lodge just after dark but in time for a quick bite to eat before falling into bed at the end of a rather eventful day! Day 3: 7th November 2013 ~ Sossusvlei We had a busy morning planned as we were to head into Sossusvlei, and as such, we started the day with an early morning cup of coffee before heading through to the entrance gate of the park at Sesriem. The drive there wasn’t too eventful as we wanted to rather get there while the temperatures were still fairly cool, although whilst checking in at the gate we did manage to locate species such as Cape Turtle Dove, Yellow Canary, Whitebrowed Sparrow Weaver and Sociable Weaver, before we slowly started to make our way along the road to Sossusvlei. Although bird densities are always low in this arid region, we did bump into Black-chested Snake Eagle, Palechanting Goshawk, Lanner Falcon, Greater Kestrel, Tractrac Chat and Namaqua Sandgrouse on the way in. Eventually we started to track down some of our target species such as Ruppell’s Korhaan, Ludwig’s Bustard and some fantastic views of both Double-banded Courser and Burchell’s Courser together. We eventually stopped for a roadside breakfast at Dune 45, before slowly starting to make our way back to our lodge with the aim of arriving around lunch time. We had one last stop at Elim Dune where we searched for Dune Lark, the countries only endemic bird species, and after a bit of trudging around, we ended up with some fantastic views of this bird where we had one individual feeding along the grass clumps of the dunes. From here we made our way back to the lodge where we had a light lunch and spent some time relaxing during the hottest part of the day, before taking a drive late the afternoon to the north of the lodge to see what species we could add to our day list. Although things weren’t very busy, we did manage a fantastic sighting of Red-necked Falcon, as well as Pygmy Falcon and a single Augur Buzzard, the only individual seen on the entire tour. We spent a bit of time searching for the scarce Cinnamon-breasted Warbler, but unfortunately luck was not on our side and we headed back to the lodge to watch the sun set over the open plains, a breathtaking site and one I’m sure will be remembered for a long time. Day 4: 8th November 2013 ~ Swakopmund We had a fairly easy start to the day with breakfast at the lodge before we set off for the lengthy drive through to Walvis Bay for lunch and on to Swakopmund where we would spend the next two evenings. We were entertained by the resident Mountain Wheatears during the morning with one evening deciding to come and inspect the inside of the dining area for any potential morsels. Eventually though we hit the road with a brief stop on the way to search for Cinnamon-breasted Warbler unfortunately not turning out to be fruitful, however, a very nice Red-necked Falcon was a highlight, as were Rock Kestrel and Ruppell’s Korhaan. We didn’t do too much birding along the way as we had a fair distance Lawson’s Birding, Wildlife and Custom Safaris; www.lawsons-africa.co.za;

to go, however, a quick stop did turn up Hartmann’s Mountain Zebra along the route which was a pleasant surprise. We eventually arrived in Walvis Bay around lunch time, and whilst having a cold drink and a sandwich we were being entertained by the antics of a number of species of Terns, including Common, Arctic, Sandwhich and even a quick fly-by from a Damara Tern, although not all the group got onto the bird before it disappeared. After lunch we completed the short drive up to Swakopmund where we settled in with some time off to relax, before heading to the north of town later on to bird the Mile 4 Salt Works. Although we didn’t record any exceptional species here, we did manage to track down Chestnut-banded Plover, Common Ringed Plover, large numbers of Curlew Sandpipers, Caspian Tern, and a pair of fairly obliging Damara Tern that allowed for some good scope views, before we called it a day and made our way back to Swakopmund for dinner. Day 5: 9th November 2013 ~ Swakopmund We kicked off proceedings with an early breakfast at the guesthouse, before slowly making our way south towards Walvis Bay where we’d spend the first part of the day. Along the way though we opted to do a quick stop at one of the Cormorant platforms that allowed for some excellent views of thousands of Cape Cormorants, as well as smaller numbers of Crowned Cormorants in between that showed quite well. From here we drove the last section through to Walvis Bay where we started off birding the lagoon, with large numbers of both Lesser and Greater Flamingos making for excellent photographic opportunities. Some of the other species we found included Little Stint, Sanderling, Curlew Sandpiper, Common Whimbrel and a single Terek Sandpiper that posed quite well, whilst a nearby sandbar played host to Common, Arctic, Sandwhich, Greater Crested and Caspain Tern, allowing for a great opportunity to compare them all. We slowly birded our way along down the edge of the lagoon where we found numerous Grey Plover, Chestnut-banded Plover, Common Ringed Plover and some Bar-tailed Godwit, whilst the area around the saltworks added some great views of a pair of Damara Tern, along with roughly 40 Rednecked Phalarope, thousands of Curlew Sandpiper and also large numbers of Cape Teal which allowed for some great photos. We opted to quickly have a look from Paaltjies to scan for any sea birds and we were rewarded with great views of both White-chinned Petrel and two Sooty Shearwaters and some very distant Sabine’s Gulls, before returning to town for lunch and some time off again at the guesthouse. The afternoon we set off to track down our target species in the form of Gray’s Lark, and after about 30 minutes of searching and only finding Trac-trac Chat, we eventually managed to get some excellent views of a single group of this interesting species slowly feeding through the low dry scrub along the side of the road. As the light was starting to disappear we opted to call it quits and made our way back through to town for dinner and a good rest before the next day’s adventures. Day 6: 10th November 2013 ~ Erongo Wilderness Lodge A fairly early start was in order as we started the day with breakfast before loading up the vehicle for the drive through to Erongo Wilderness Lodge where we’d spend the next two nights. The road there was fairly uneventful as we were aiming to reach Spitzkoppe before the temperature had gotten too high, and a few stops along the way only turned up Ruppell’s Korhaan, Karoo Long-billed Lark and a fantastic pair of Lanner Falcons on one of the roadside pylons, although unfortunately they didn’t pose for very long. Eventually we turned off the main road and started the drive through to Spitzkoppe, finding Stark’s Lark and Black-throated Canary along the way, before heading along to track down our main target, the shy and range restricted Herero Chat. We headed out to the eastern side of Spitzkopp where we strolled towards a low hillside where a resident pair of this species stays and it wasn’t long before we heard the faint but unmistakable calls of this species nearby. After a quick scan about we were watching a lovely pair of this scarce species feeding along the hillside and posing very well indeed where they were joined by the more common Dusky Sunbirds and Black-throated Canaries. Further along we had a quick stop at a nearby rock art site where we had the chance to admire this incredible artwork close up, with paintings of Lawson’s Birding, Wildlife and Custom Safaris; www.lawsons-africa.co.za;

Rhinoceros, Zabra, Eland and Elephants, before the heat started to get the better of us and we opted to head off towards Usakos where we stopped for a quick lunch and a much needed cold drink. The rest of the drive through to Erongo was fairly straight forward and we headed directly to the camp where we gave ourselves some time off during the hottest part of the day, before heading out for a short stroll late afternoon for sundowners. Although we didn’t record too many new species, we did locate Rosy-faced Lovebird, Marico Sunbird and White-browed Sparrow-Weaver, although the undoubted highlight was after strolling back down when we inadvertently flushed a pair of Hartlaub’s Spurfowl which landed nearby and strolled out offering great views to the whole group. Our last new bird for the day was the resident Freckled Nightjar which was seen hawking insects over the waterhole during dinner, a good way to cap off a great day. Day 7: 11th November 2013 ~ Erongo Wilderness Lodge Our first full day at Erongo Wilderness Lodge started with an early cup of coffee in the dining area, where we spent a fair bit of time mesmerized by a flock of Rosy-faced Lovebirds having their early morning breakfast a mere five meters away from us. They were joined by an exquisite pair of Green-winged Pytillia, and before long, our main target, a pair ov very confiding Hartlaub’s Spurfowl which posed beautifully whilst we watched this typically shy bird for quite some time. Eventually we pulled ourselves away and set off for a walk through the surrounding bush, but not before locating Rockrunner a mere 20 meters away from the dining area, not a bad way to start the morning! Along the way we bumped into several good species such as Yellow-bellied Eremomela, Monteiro’s Hornbill, Pririt Batis, Crimson-breasted Shrike, Violeteared Waxbill, Red-billed Spurfowl, Damara Red-billed Hornbill, Rock Kestrel, Marico Sunbird and Acacia Pied Barbet, before we returned for a late breakfast. We set off for another stroll even though the temperature had really started to crank up a bit by now, and as suspected, the birds were also feeling the heat, and besides several of the same species we’d seen earlier the morning, we also found a group of Red-headed Finch near the lodge before we opted to relax until the temperature had dropped a bit late the afternoon. We aimed to set out to search for White-tailed Shrike which we missed the morning, and we slowly strolled back down to the main road to try and track down this species in the thick Acacia woodland further down. We managed to bump into a few species of interest, but amazingly came up empty handed with the Shrike, only hearing one calling a few times a long way off. We slowly made our way all the way back to camp for a shower and dinner, being entertained once more by the antics of the resident Freckled Nightjars feeding around the floodlit waterhole in front of camp, before calling it a day and crawling into bed. Day 8: 12th November 2013 ~ Okaukuejo, Etosha National Park We started our day off with a single focus, to track down White-tailed Shrike, a species we’d inexplicably missed up until now, with only a few heard calling in areas we hadn’t been able to get to! So we set off amongst the Rosy-faced Lovebirds coming down for their morning feed and the calls of Rockrunner all along the mountain slopes. Birding was strangely quiet, but nonetheless we did manage to track down Monteiro’s Hornbill, Red-billed Spurfowl, Chestnut-vented Warbler, Marico Sunbird and Rock Kestrel. Further down we started to walk through the dense acacia woodland this species likes, scanning any movement for our target but to no avail, with only the occasional Damara Red-billed Hornbill and Pririt Batis being found. Eventually as we were about to turn back I heard a White-tailed Shrike calling once in Lawson’s Birding, Wildlife and Custom Safaris; www.lawsons-africa.co.za;

the distance and we headed directly towards where the call came from, but sure enough, they went completely quiet and I was convinced we were going to strike out on a species that shouldn’t be difficult, but eventually playing the call brought in a pair of these curious birds and we had some lovely views of the species…finally! From here we headed back for breakfast, and of course as always happens, had another two White-tailed Shrikes in the camp just while we were busy loading the vehicle, re-affirming my surprise at taking so long to track down this species. Eventually though we hit the road, although a short stop in the town of Omaruru did turn up a few species such as a pair of Shikra, Bradfield’s, Common and Little Swift, Red-billed Buffalo Weaver, White-browed Sparrow Weaver and some very well hidden Ruppell’s Parrots feeding in the top of a Camel Thorn. Eventually though we started to get going with the drive through to Etosha being fairly uneventful, although Tawny Eagle and Black-breasted Snake Eagles were nice finds along the road. After lunch in Outjo we completed the last section of the drive through to Okaukuejo camp, where we opted to spend some time relaxing before a late afternoon drive to Nebrownii waterhole where we found Redcapped Lark, Great Sparrow and Chat Flycatcher, although the mammals definitely stole the show with two Black Rhinoceros having a mud bath, another two individuals in the woodland on the way there, several Black-backed Jackals and large male Lion snoozing on the road, whilst a second male and a group of females were seen further away. Eventually time started running out and we made our way back to camp for dinner and a well earned rest after a long hot day. Day 9: 13th November 2013 ~ Okaukuejo, Etosha National Park Our first full day started off with us exploring the area to the north-east of camp, with the low dry scrub turning up a few good species such as Spike-heeled Lark, Stark’s Lark, Sabota Lark and Grey-backed Sparrowlark, whilst a pair of Double-banded Coursers with a very small chick were a pleasant surprise and really interesting to watch as the little ball of fluff stumbled along after the parents! Around Okondeka things were fairly quiet besides a lone Lioness, and we slowly started to make our way back towards camp for breakfast. Afterwards we opted to have a drive out to the east once more in the direction of Nebrownii waterhole, where we were treated to some excellent game viewing in the form of Black Rhinoceros, a large male Lion, Plains Zebra and Springbok, whilst numerous Common Ostrich were also about alongside Red-capped Lark, Namaqua Dove and a pair of Great Sparrows. From here we headed back to camp where we relaxed after lunch for a while and, as a result of the heat, decided to only head out once more very late the afternoon for a drive, however, the weather had a very different plan and we ended up being chased back to camp by a massive storm after only about 20 minutes, most definitely putting an end to our afternoon drive as we headed back to camp with the rain steadily tumbling down the rest of the night. Day 10: 14th November 2013 ~ Namutoni, Etosha National Park We started the day with an early breakfast in camp as we would have a fair way to travel. A quick look at the waterhole however did turn up Verreaux’s Eagle Owl, as well as Sociable Weaver and African Cuckoo, but the rainy conditions didn’t make for particularly good birding as many species were still tucked away out of the cold. We eventually set off for our next camp, Namutoni, slowly taking the drive through along the main route where we encountered Red-capped Lark, Spike-heeled Lark, Tawny Eagle and a very confiding Bat-eared Fox with a pup that put in a very brief appearance before disappearing back down the Lawson’s Birding, Wildlife and Custom Safaris; www.lawsons-africa.co.za;

burrow. A stop along the route at one of the waterholes did turn up a few water associated species such as White-winged Black Tern, Ruff, Little Stint, African Jacana, Cattle Egret and a pair of African Pipit. A short distance before Halali we had some excellent close up views of Lanner Falcon, whilst a short distance away we bumped into a massive flock of Common Swift feeding low over the Acacia woodland that must have numbered in excess of 5000 individuals quite easily, a remarkable sight to see! After a light lunch we decided to have a short stroll around where we found our main target in the form of two Barecheeked Babblers feeding around the top of the camp, whilst other species found were Red-billed Spurfowl and an African Scops Owl at its daytime roost. Afterwards we started to make our way across to Namutoni where we would spend the next two nights. As it had started to heat up a fair bit by now the birding was fairly quiet and the only species of interest were Brown Snake Eagle, Greater Kestrel, Lappet-faced Vulture and Violet-eared Waxbill, before we reached Namutoni and got settled in with some time to relax. Late the afternoon we headed out for a short afternoon drive to the south of the camp where we hoped to bump into Black-faced Babbler along the Dik-dik drive, and although we came up empty handed here, we did see a few interesting species such as Purple Roller, Yellow-fronted Canary and, at Klein Namutoni waterhole, Cape Teal, Red-billed Teal, Southern Pochard, Little Stint, Ruff, Pied Avocet and a single Sanderling. One of our final sightings was a rather interesting one with a Gabar Goshawk trying to grab a Double-banded Sandgrouse almost alongside our vehicle, a nice sighting to end the day before we returned back to camp for dinner and a good rest. Day 11: 15th November 2013 ~ Namutoni, Etosha National Park Our day started with a drive to the north of the camp, aiming to track down a few more bushveld species. On the way out we encountered several of the expected species such as Sabota Lark, Afrcian Pipit, Grey Go-away-bird, Scaly-feathered Weaver, Black-chested Prinia and Red-billed Quelea. The thickets further along did turn up Pied Babbler, Tawny Eagle, Chestnut-vented Warbler, Kalahari Scrub Robin and Long-billed Crombec. Further along we decided to head up to Tsumcor waterhole, and although we didn’t get many different species, we did bump into some more Fawn-colored Larks along the route. The waterhole itself had a few Wood Sandpiper and several Red-capped Larks about, before we decided to head back to camp for a relaxed breakfast. Afterwards we decided to spend some time exploring the area surrounding Fischer’s Pan, and although the pan itself was still dry, we did bump into several interesting species, with large numbers of Lesser Grey and Red-backed Shrike in particular standing out. Kori Bustards were also in evidence everywhere with us easily getting over 20 individuals on the way to Twee Palms, with a brief Red-necked Falcon also putting in an appearance. A Buffy Pipit was also the only one encountered on the tour, whilst a distant Eagle had us stumped, and unfortunately that remained the case as we simply could not see enough of the bird. Near Twee Palms we bumped into a large group of about 30 White-backed Vultures, whilst a real pleasant surprise from a mammal point of view was an African Wild Cat that slowly walked across the grassy plain, flushing up Rufous-naped and Eastern Clapper Larks along the way whilst being bombarded by a bunch of Banded Martins from above. From here we turned back and headed through to camp for lunch and a bit of time off to relax, also finding White-bellied and Marico Sunbirds on some of the flowering trees between the rooms. As we wanted to head up north to the Andoni Plains, we headed out fairly early and Lawson’s Birding, Wildlife and Custom Safaris; www.lawsons-africa.co.za;

drove straight north till the thickets cleared and revealed the beautiful grassland here, and a few good birds along the way were Lilac-breasted Roller, Swallow-tailed Bee-eater, Magpie Shrike, Rattling Cisticola, Desert Cisticola and African Pipit, whilst unfortunately a Pink-billed Lark showed only very briefly and was missed by most. At the dam however we found our main target in the form of a group of 8 Blue Cranes, whilst we had to leave empty handed with our attempts to relocate Pink-billed Lark. From here we headed slowly back to camp, encountering White-crested Helmetshrike along the way, whilst at Stinkwater waterhole we bumped into both Double-banded and Burchell’s Sandgrouse, whilst on the last section of road we got a fantastic surprise in the form of a Caracal alongside the road, and although it was nearly impossible to photograph, we had excellent views of this exquisite creature walking along the road. Day 12: 16th November 2013 ~ Waterberg Plateau National Park Our day started with an early breakfast in camp as we would have a fair distance to travel, although a quick look at the waterhole did turn up Common Moorhen, Ruff, Wood Sandpiper and large numbers of Redbilled Quelea coming out of the reedbeds. Afterwards we packed up our gear and made our way slowly out of the park, although a quick stop at a nearby waterhole, Klein Namutoni, turned up a real surprise in the form of a Blue Crane, along with a few other species such as Cape Teal, Ruff, Little Stint, Pied Avocet and Wood Sandpiper. From here we exited the park through the Von Lindequest Gate, but not before encountering our first European Roller of the tour, along with Lilacbreasted Roller, Sabota Lark and African Grey Hornbill. We decided to make a quick stop at a nearby lodge along the way to search for Black-faced Babbler, although our initial searching only turned up Green-winged Pytillia, Marico Sunbird, Blue Waxbill and an obliging Pearl-spotted Owlet. We decided to have one last go at the far side of the camp before calling it quits, and just as we were about to leave, two Black-faced Babblers were glimpsed gliding into a low tree. In no time we were watching these birds happily feeding along the lawns, and at one stage even going into the one storage room, presumably to try and locate any insects or other morsels they could find. Eventually we had to hit the road though and we started the long drive through to the Waterberg where we would spend the final night, with the drive there not being particularly interesting, particularly with it being the heat of the day. We arrived at the park early afternoon, where a quick stroll turned up both our target species in almost no time, first, a group of Violet Wood-Hoopoe in the trees above us, followed shortly afterwards by a very confiding Ruppell’s Parrot feeding in a low shrub. From here we finished the last short piece of the drive through to our lodge, where we allowed ourselves some time to relax. Later the afternoon we decided to go for a short afternoon stroll, finding species such as White-bellied and Scarlet-chested Sunbird, Burnt-necked Eremomela, Rosyfaced Lovebird, Monteiro’s Hornbill, Acacia Pied Barbet and a large flock of Hirundines including Little, Common and Bradfield’s Swift, whilst Common House Martin was also new for the trip. Probably the biggest surprise however was having a Eurasian Honey Buzzard fly low over us affording some excellent views, before it disappeared out of sight. The evening before dinner we also managed to quickly track down a single African Scops Owl calling away in the grounds of the lodge. Day 13: 17th November 2013 ~ Departure Our last day started with a short morning walk in the vicinity of the camp where we managed to at least add a few species to our overall trip list, with the highlights being Klaas’s Cuckoo, Purple Roller, Emeraldspotted Wood Dove, Black-backed Puffback, Grey-backed Camaroptera, Bradfield’s Swift, Marico Sunbird and, after a bit of searching, a male African Golden Oriole that posed quite well. We returned for breakfast afterwards before packing up and making our way back down to Windhoek for our flight out, where we recorded species such as Monteiro’s Hornbill, Pale Chanting Goshawk, Common Buzzard and Rosy-faced Lovebird. Eventually we reached the airport around mid-day from where we said Lawson’s Birding, Wildlife and Custom Safaris; www.lawsons-africa.co.za;
