It was a long drive today as we headed to our next destination of Ranomafana. Along the way we saw several Dimorphic Egrets and a flock of Brown-throated Martins as we drove through the endless scenery of rice fields and deforested hills. After 3.5 hours we arrived for our noon lunch and were duly serenaded by a local musical group and watched the start of the disappointing rugby world cup final (if you were English!). A 4 hour drive followed and once amidst the splendid rainforest of Ranomafana we walked along the road watching MalagasyBlack Swift, Madagascan Spinetail and Mascarene Martins feeding over the treetops and all showing rather well. Along the way we called in a Forest Rock-Thrush that also showed nicely before it began to rain, so we drove on to our lovely hotel where we’d spend the next 3 nights.
