We departed Chundukwa Lodge at 06:00 this morning for a long drive west to visit the Machile Important Bird Area (IBA). We were delighted to see a sign by the side of the road which mentioned that we were entering the IBA. One of the first birds that we saw was this Lizard Buzzard which posed for photos in the beautiful morning light.
