Visitors for water

new friends in the garden
Water is obviously essential for everyone. Especially in a country like Sudan, where the landscape consists of plentiful deserts (see satellite map of Sudan), water is extremely precious. Only the Blue and the White Nile grant some green vegetation and 'refreshment'. Since the rainy season slowly started in Kosti, Frank has welcomed some new visitors on the office premises. They initially seemed to perform a special show; they climbed on top of each others back and formed one pile, all facing the same direction. But they were too shy to be pictured like that, so the attached photo was taken just after their 'performance'.
