The raptors were obviously enjoying themself, roaming from Karnak and Chicago House, past Luxor Temple as far as the Iberotel. Some came well across the river. I think that there were at least 3 different species, and up to 5 black kites at a time.
The kingfishers were enjoying good catches right outside Blue Sky. They can be very tricky to freeze, even at 1/2000 of a second.
In the evening it was blowing a near gale up at the House of Sir where I dined with two pairs of Germans, a Dutch lady and several Egyptian friends.
