Sometimes the best birding can often be found right in camp!
And here we found a pair of nesting African Paradise Flycatchers raising two chicks, right behind the Managers tent and adjacent to the kitchen, hence the noises you might hear on the video, the pair were completely unfazed by the activity.

Thanks @ElenaH

This was a case where I was actually a little too close to this nesting family as it was closed in and being backed up to a large stone wall and could not get back
any further. I was shooting images with my Z400TC and was just on it's MFD, with very thin DOF.
