First hide

This is the first hide facing the bridge and more or less inviting the visitors to walk right in, and be amazed by what were in store for the unwary. When in season, the migratory birds will only be a stone's throw away. The monitor lizards will take their strolls among the birds who will watch them very closely. Have never seen the lizards attacking the birds yet. Heard that they are vegetarian. It opened a window to a wide expanse of nature, deliberately shielded away from the hassling and noise of the approaching visitors. To be quiet, to walk stealthily, was a virtue and would be richly rewarded.

These migratory birds flew in large groups as a protective mechanism. They are seen here flying past the first hide.
