"There were many things about the flood plains of the Okavango that reminded us of the flooded water meadows at home. In particular it was the lush green landscape, long sedge grasses, an abundance of butterflies and the snow white little egret that made us see why our birds might feel at home in both of these landscapes.
I chose to paint the beautiful mopane leaf as it is a tree that only grows on the African continent and it is a favourite feast for elephants."
