African Sacred Ibis - a photo on Flickriver

Hello, my Flickr friends.
It has been a while since I posted any photos. I have been on a nice long holiday over the December and beginning of January and have been far away from any computers. I am back at work now for a few weeks and combined with our Electricity “Loadshedding” have not yet had the chance to edit and post some photos.
Anyway, I will try to post some of my holiday photos over the next few weeks. Starting with this “bird series”. Hope you enjoy it.
Load shedding is a real pain. Some days we only have 3 and half hours of electricity at day and then some at night. Sometimes the breaker in the substation blows up because of this switching and then you are without power for a few days waiting on repairs. While also increasing the price of electricity year on year by between 30% and 18%! So, we basically pay more for less electricity.
Some interesting reads: [Eskom before and after load shedding](businesstech.co.za/news/energy/659045/eskom-before-and-af...)
