Wow, you have really raced forward since I last looked. Great additions and the magic 400 is now very close.

The Lanner with the Finch is fantastic - didn´t even notice the prey at first.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but for secretary birds you are going to the wrong park. Kgalagadi is the place for them. But you have a good chance at ground Hornbill.
