Sometimes people tend not to see the precious things in their own town. Yesterday we discovered that especially here in Kosti it can be found so close-by, without people knowing it. We had invited one of Frank's colleagues to join us on one of our favourite walks along the Nile. She had seen a few of Franks photos before and she somehow couldn't believe that they were taken in 'her' town of Kosti. A bit sceptically she stepped out of the car and started our walk on the muddy path towards the river. Suddenly she stopped and pointed at the nearby bush: "Oh, look! That bird is bright yellow! Wow, it is beautiful!". We continued our walk and by every step she took, she became more and more excited. "I can't believe I am seeing this in Kosti", she said, while realizing that her house was only 5 minutes away. "There are birds in all colours of the rainbow and the area is so green!" Eventually she took Frank's binoculars and professionally screened the whole area to find any interesting animals. She hardly had time to sit down for the home-made picknick! While the sun was setting beautifully (-and the mosquitoes started to seriously attack us in the meantime-) we concluded that there is always something unexpected to discover, just around the corner.
