~ Approaching the Rojewero River crossing required us to slow down as the track goes over a small causeway which is covered by shallow flowing water. A hamerkop was fishing alongside two sandpipers, slowly walking in the shallows where algae mats and biofilm slicks were visible. The hamerkop defied expectation by flying towards us, rather than away. In such a remote, unsullied setting, the birds pursue their lives without discernible negative impacts of encroaching settlement and development. I was glad to see them there, free and healthy.
