Restored Toti River teeming with birdlife again

The fish eagle Goliath and purple herons, kingfishers, giant pied and malachite are everywhere.

With abundant food, amazing bird life has returned. The fish eagle Goliath and purple herons, kingfishers, giant pied and malachite are everywhere.

We wish we can keep it like that.  However some organisation will find a reason to open the river mouth and all will disappear again.
