We docked at Walvis Bay harbour in Namibia at 8am this morning, where we met our birding tour guide. We spent the next six hours or so in the back of an enclosed land rover, climbing and plummeting sand dunes and exploring the Walvis Bay lagoon. It was an amazing experience 🙂
A typical Namibian sand dune
Toktokkie beetle
Jackal buzzard
Tractrac chat
Namaqua chameleon
Pale chanting goshawk
Red-faced mousebird
A salt pan, glistening in the Namibian sun
And just nearby, the saltworks
A juvenile kelp gull eating the remains of a fish
An almost-tame pelican in the Walvis Bay lagoon
And just a few hours later, the Namibian pilot boat sees the MSC Opera back out of the harbour
