Re: A cat or a lifer a day keep the doctor away
but as it was already late we could not stay longer and returned not to forget to give an elephant bull right of way
and to stop for a couple of marabou storks a bit farer away.
The evening light was more than lovely
and also more waterbucks were not far.
After such a long drive we simply enjoyed the peaceful evening on our verandah with another yummy braai and luckily also the bugs got less but we were visited by a lot of beautiful moths who simply had to be photographed.
Saturday, 15th February 2020 – Satara
Explored roads: H1-4 – S100 – S41 – H6 – S37 – S41 – S90 – H1-4 – H7 – S12 – S40 – H7 – H1-4
Our first drive during our first full day at Satara is leading us always along the S100 and needless to say that it was today the same but for sure such a beautiful sunrise simply had to be captured
especially after the many rainy days we had already.
As also in the past the grass along the S100 was extreme high so not many chances in spotting a lot but for sure the wildebeests did not let us down,
as well as the noisy woodland kingfishers.
Impalas could be seen also plentiful but all of them were covered by flies which must have been extreme annoying
also this cute bushbuck lady who we met next was cluttered with flies.
It was an extreme quiet drive but nevertheless this is one of our favourite roads in Kruger and same can give you everything or nothing – Today it was more or less nothing. At least an African hoopoe sat long enough still and posed nicely on a branch for a couple of decent shots.

Gudzani dam was brimful and after a while we spent there enjoying the silence and view we carried on. For sure the rivers were full and the causeways overflowing.
We spent quite a while with an impressive waterbuck male who was more than willing to pose in the high grass
and for sure stopped at another causeway and even discovered a bit in the distance a squacco heron.
We saw Egyptian goose in a dead tree
and had luck in finding a couple of amur flacons in several trees
one even started to play with a branchlet and we had a great time in observing and photographing same.
We simply love these small falcons they are so cute.
A lot of giraffes were hanging around as well and for sure they were again extreme hungry
and enjoyed the acacia leaves.

To live with those flies all over must be a real challenge
Beautiful amur falcon I've never seen one in Kruger

Astounding variety, Pumbaa!
Difficult to pick favourites...the moth with the eyes and the juggling falcon!
So many flies!
