Birdwatching Morning

The lake and its reeds are a rest stop on a busy flyway, which makes for a relaxed and rewarding morning circuit. Our naturalist knows the calls the way the reeds know the water — you will hear birds you would never see.

We move slowly, stop often, and keep a shared checklist. Kingfishers, hornbills, and on a lucky morning, an otter slipping between the boats.
