The first thing to understand is that I made in error in publishing my posts. I posted Egypt before I had finished Madagascar, so the posts are out of sequence. Sorry about that.
It is the 1st October & we are walking down the road at dawn waiting for the Analmazoatra Reserve in Andasibe to open. It is quite birdy but birds are high up in the very large trees lining the road, so birding is not easy. However, birding is exciting as most birds seen are new species for me!
However we do see Hook-billed Vanga & Nuthatch Vanga. Indris are calling from deep in the forest & this makes for a very evocative atmosphere.
The reserve opens & we obtain our tickets & enter into the forest. The trails are well laid out & the various trails clearly marked. It is a beautiful reserve but we were not expecting the number of other visitors present here. This is the place to see Indri, which is a massive draw. However, we soon explore the less travelled trails & for the next couple of hours we are birding alone, which was great!
