Just for a note: I recorded a small flock of Euro bee-eaters over Lake Chala land yesterday... also Verreaux's Eagle, Verreaux's Eagle-Owl and Southern White-faced Owl, but NO Pel's Fishing Owl - and that's what I was looking for!! Maybe next time...

More details and records will come with my monthly list...
