Sericea and Waterberg    
     

The morning got off to a very late start and we basically justed lazed about on the farm drinking coffee and talking nonsense and occasionally we would lift the cameras if a bird came close enough... At about 11h30, Margaret and I headed off with Warwick and Michele to another farm called Serendipity in the Waterberg to go and look for dragonflies. Even although the area was extremely dry, we managed to locate 8 species around a small pond including a lifer for me - White-masked Whisp. The afternoon was again spent wandering around Sericea.
