Firstly I'd like to make clear that these geckos are bigger than any I've ever seen before. 

I don't know about me ever getting used to these slippery little things but they are definitely getting used to me.  This little lizard just appeared on the back of the sofa next to me and jumped down onto the cushion in front of him.  He then wriggled across the sofa turned his nose up at a dead moth and carried on hunting.  He then jumped down onto the floor and scurried along the edge of the sofa so that he was almost at my feet now.  Dave then came in and I showed him and he told me to leave him alone!!  What did he think I was planning on doing?  Honestly if it came any closer I was ready to pounce in the opposite direction.

Dave and I just went for a walk to look for birds (I know a real twitcher now aren't I).  Have you ever tried to walk quietly in a pair of flip flops?  It just doesn't work, which is a shame because we only got a glimpse of a retreating Bushbuck doe who had been scared off by the advancing flip flop.  The great thing about all this mud around is that it's a great mold for footprints.  Dave pointed out the spoor of a genet, a civit, the bushbuck and a porcupine.  The porcupine was much bigger than I expected.  I left a footprint of my own just to confuse anybody else who came across all the tracks.

We saw a lot of Green Wood Hoopoe, which we get a lot of in camp.  They're very cool as they hop around the branches and when they go down to a lower branch it looks that they are falling but it's all carefully planned.  They are very noisey birds, they sound a bit like dogs squeaky toy if you ask me but very funny noe the less.  I then spotted another bird to the right of the Hoopoo (for a hunter Dave has awful eye sight) so we got the binos out and he identified it as a African Cuckoo.  He was very chilled and I think he even turned round so we got his better side while we were taking pictures of him.
