Africa - Toto

Doesn't look like the bad weather is going to clear any time soon, so once again we have to rely on the photo archive. The recent receipt of a post card from South Africa inspired me to visit that country Bird File, so here is a selection which we hope you enjoy.

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
