I leave acacias behind and enter the village, at first raised on low concrete platforms, barely half a meter above the tidal mud flat. The nearest seas were 1000 kilometers to the east and 1500 to the west, when I saw a Crab-plover on the front of the Africa Birds & Birding magazine, photographed on some beach in Mozambique.

A Dominican missionary in Mozambique in the 16th century was astounded to find honeyguides eating the wax from his altar candles!
