Thanks for the IDs, DewiDewi wrote:Just catching up again BT.
Great photos, all of them.
Love the Fig Tree Moth - reminds me of the Polar Bears I saw recently. And the Wavy Owl Moth is a belter.

Day 14. Skukuza -> Home.
I was up early and off to LP again leaving the SO in bed.
The sun was coming up as I approached the LP parking area.
Two proud parents of....
this really insane looking chick
A greenbacked Heron with an early breakfast
Mayhem as a parent arrives with food for two hungry chicks
and beats a hasty retreat once they have been fed.
A Jacana just as it lands
Another Grey Heron arriving with food. It's amazing how the chicks recognise their own parents from a great distance and only that bird's chicks start making a noise!
A crocodile was cruising around and not even creating a ripple on the water.
A last couple of pictures....
and it's time to pick up the SO and head towards the gate with a stop for coffee at Afsaal.
Where we saw a Red Headed Weaver
and some more crimson Dragonflies
I think this one has just hatched.
Finally, we can't delay our departure any more so We head towards Malelane.
And to see us off, some brand new Impies.
THE END

That was the Kruger through my eyes and my camera lens.
Again I have tried to give a slightly different view of the park than the usual mammals and birds reports - which I read with great enjoyment even if I don't comment very often.
I think the macro photography made quite a difference to this report and I'm really pleased with the positive feedback!
A big THANK YOU to everybody for taking the time to read this report and a special thank you to those of you who took the time to comment.
