Lovely little bushbaby...didn't know they also steal!
That hyena looks as though it has quite a nasty skin flap wound on the cheek!
Interesting giraffe silhouette, Pumbaa!
I haven't been to that dam for decades, interesting you say it is still worth it.
My favourite is the jackal!

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Same was still shy and use Timon's shoulder only as spring board
This year the S28 was a bit quiet but I guess it was because of the high grass there but nevertheless still one of our favourites
The jackal was hard to discover when hiding in the high grass but gladly same presented itself on the roadRichprins wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2019 5:14 pm Lovely little bushbaby...didn't know they also steal!

We discovered white backed vultures
and masses of zebras
who came from a huge natural waterhole along that road
and because of the water there we do always see here lots of other animals as well this year many wildebeests together with youngsters were hanging around that waterhole as well.
Finally we could turn into the short road leading to Duke’s waterhole where we were delighted to see the waterhole filled up nicely and secondly about the birds who were around such as common waxbills indeed a bird we so far did not that spot that often
and a cute spotted flycatcher really posed nicely for us.
We really spent quite a while here under a shady tree and watched the birdies and in the distance the zebras and we were about to leave already when we noticed a movement on the ground – a water monitor made its way behind the waterhole.
Next stop was then on another pond along the S130 where we spotted a pair of Egyptian goose on a large rock in the middle of the waterhole
as well as turtles and another sandpiper. Meanwhile although it was still quite early it was already unbearably hot in the sun and so we only got a glimpse of a sleeping lioness in the shade whilst riding along the tar road
besides another spotted flycatcher we really did not see anything else
until we reached the Lower Sabie causeway where a lot of hippos could be seen and photographed

and we then were once again delighted by the presence of quite a number of red bishops
starting their display show
as well as in plushed up form.
As the reeds were quite high and thick this year for sure a lot of masked weavers were also around busy in either refurbishing or building new nests
and we once again had a fantastic time in observing all the birds who came by.
From time to time a couple of red billed queleas became lost between the weavers and red bishops
but we finally could not get enough from all the different colourful feathered friends
and we had indeed problems in drag us away
as the red bishops as well weavers posed in so many different poses
but finally nature was also calling and so we made a larger break at Lower Sabie with the delicious muffins and iced freezos from Mug & Bean.
to be continued.....

Thank you Nature for all the pretty birds
Beautiful colourful photos
I saw the lion pic before reading the text and could not make out what on earth it was
