~ After the exhilaration of spotting and photographing a Nile Monitor upon arriving at the Rojewero River, no further highlights were expected. Yet upstream a solitary Ardea goliath, Goliath Heron, was patiently watching the surrounding water, intent on the next course in its midday meal. The afternoon sunlight on its plumage reminded that not only is it a large bird, but also a beautiful species. We paused to observe it in the center of the Rojewero, with Anthony praising it for its beauty.
