Le Shoutout 🧣

📍 Mpumalanga

Last week, while sitting on the back of a game vehicle, our game guide said:

“When you start listening to the birds, and when you know how to identify their calls, you realise there are a lot of birds around you, but you just can’t see them.”

And I felt that in my chest.

Shoutout Attest.

Le Story ✍️

📍 Mpumalanga

Later, we were looking at two African Hawk Eagles when he said:

The female is big. The male is small.

They hunt together.

The male flies low, darting around the bushes, flushing small birds out of the grass.

The female flies higher, catching whatever comes up.

Two birds. Same species. Different strengths. One goal.

Le Question 🤔

Do you listen to the birds around you or wait until they fly right in front of you?

---

Have a powerful Monday, everyone.
