Had a good visit to this establishment and thought I would share some of the images with you.
Image 1 - Black-crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax)
This Heron usually roosts during the day and feeds at night ,hence it's name. They primarily eat small fish, crustaceans, frogs, aquatic insects, small mammals and small birds.
Image 2 - African Spoonbill (Platalea alba)
The species is widespread across Africa and Madagascar, including Botswana, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.
Image 3 - African Sacred Ibis (Threskiornis aethiopicus)
The Sacred Ibis breeds in sub-Saharan Africa, southeastern Iraq, and formerly in Egypt, where it was venerated and often mummified as a symbol of the god Thoth. It feeds on various fish, frogs, small mammals, reptiles and smaller birds as well as insects.
Image 4 - Bateleur (Terathopius ecaudatus)
The Bateleur eagle is a common resident species of the open savanna country in Sub-Saharan Africa, though it also occurs in south-west Arabia. The prey of this raptor is mostly birds, including pigeons and sandgrouse, small mammals; it also takes carrion.
Image 5 - Mandarin Duck (Aix galericulata)
A very popular duck due to the male's colourful plumage. They were widespread in South East Asia. A significant population of this duck can be seen in the wild in the UK.
Image 6 - Wood Duck (Aix sponsa)
Closely related to the Mandarin Duck is the Wood Duck. This is found in the Americas.
Image 7 - Humboldt Penguin (Spheniscus humboldti)
A South American penguin, that breeds in coastal Peru and Chile.
I have many more images of the birds I have seen and will share some more if you like these.

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
Thank you Harry - greatly appreciated
