Re: Grietjie Private Reserve
I am not a hufe fan of spiders, but the webs can be very decorative in the morning dew.
Your second photo shows a Tropical tent-web spider (Cyrtophora citricola) and a string of egg sacs.

Re: Grietjie Private Reserve
Thank you very dankie.
Went out on drive this morning, with my main aim at getting more birds for my lockdown list, which is now at 75. My target is 80, but it's getting difficult now.
Once again, one of the first animals to be seen was another Giraffe...
A bit further on I was kept very busy trying to ID this bird. I finally got it, a juvenile Diederiks Cuckoo...
Another regular, a Lilac-breasted Roller...
This one also kept me busy, a Rattling Cisticola...
More soon...

Sometimes it’s not until you don’t see what you want to see, that you truly open your eyes.
Re: Grietjie Private Reserve

you should have hung around for a bit longer with that juvenile cuckoo
to see who the sucker bird was that thought is was her offspring...

Re: Grietjie Private Reserve
I was too busy trying to ID it, then it flew off.
