    Hey Joel! What an incredible place! So lovely to see the incredible wildlife that abounds there. The potoo bird reminded me of a tree moth with its camouflage, beautiful!

It really is wonderful, off to Egypt in a few weeks, going to an island that is a haven for birds and other wildlife, will be sharing it all with you when I'm back. No wildlife pond this time, I think the Nile sufficient, but who knows if I can persuade the hotel manager! 👀 So glad you're enjoying this - best wishes to you and yours, Joel

I would if I could. Yes Anubias are good aquatic plants in aquariums but I’m not very good at growing them my leaves are always turning yellow but you need to get good aquariums lights and all water chemistry right and it’s tricky. But I do try to learn . I just getting a new aquarium on Saturday a four foot one so it makes up for not having a pond.
