Re: Grietjie Private Reserve
Hi everyone, Day 4 of lockdown.
I still haven't been out on a proper drive yet, not the best weather for photography. During the last few days I have been taking photos in and around the house.
Day 1, I had Warthogs on the lawn. This one taken from my bedroom window...
On Day 2, there were lots of Impala around the house. This little one took the opportunity to suckle off mommy...(taken from my braai deck)
Still Day 2, from the stoep, a couple of Giraffe heading towards the house...
The last shot of Day 2, a Woodlands with a kill...(from the stoep)
Some of Day 3 and 4 next...

One shot from Day 3, a Jackal being lazy...
Right, Day 4, this morning. I went down to the river as I heard Lions at 03h30, very close to the house in the direction of the river. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them. We are busy with a Lockdown Birding challenge, on my way down I got this Red-backed Shrike...
I also found another Golden Orb Spider...
On my way back to the house, a Waterbuck...
I'll probably start taking drives this afternoon or tomorrow morning, pics to follow...

I could do with your kind of lockdown
