February
Ripe figs are eaten by many species including the fruit bats that make interesting night sounds while feeding. It is peak flowering time for water lilies and the reed frogs are colourful and noisy - the Okavango Delta is brilliant, noisy and alive. Due to the rains plants are growing actively. Butterflies, birds, frogs and all the small creatures are full of life and at their best. The rains continue in the form of mid to late afternoon thunderstorms with dramatic skies and sounds. It is hot with daytime temperatures averaging above 30°C and warm nights at 20°C plus. There may be both wet and very dry spells within the month. The giant bullfrog emerges from months and sometimes years of hibernation to indulge in nocturnal feeding frenzies. The resident game species do not have far to go for water and the young are almost as tall as the adults. Birding is excellent.
