Birds

As on last year's safari game was scarce at this time of the morning in the river course. It probably takes longer to warm up enough to get the animals moving. We may have seen this same troop of monkeys in the same tree last year. The lighting made it difficult to get any reasonable shots, as we were always facing the sun.

The monkeys on the ground are probably still warming up before exercising themselves too much!
The monkey feeding at full stretch on the branch is somewhat precarious - they are know to fall!
