Early on our last morning, we boarded a Pangolin photo boat and headed downstream through rapids to riverside and island trees where Yellow-billed Storks and cormorants roosted.
The storks spend much of the day foraging around the wetlands, pulling a waterweed to disturb insects and fish, and hanging round large, grazing mammals to snap up insects they put up.
Capitalizing on the grazing and wallowing disturbance of other creatures is a common way of life for many birds by the Chobe.
Many other birds exploit the different habitats around the river, including African Darter, Pied Wagtail, Carmine Bee-eater, Fish Eagle, Openbilled Stork, Reed Cormorant, Squacco Heron, Egrets, Pied and Great Kingfishers, Rock Pratincole, Water Thick-knee, and the occasional Lilac-breasted Roller.,
