Once again, thanks to all of you!!! $\O$

This morning I headed for Mopani to meet up with flying cheetah.

First a few pics on the way there...

I stopped at every herd of Impala, but no new borns in this area yet. $0*\$ At the turn off to Mooiplaas I got this Martial...

At Shipandani I saw this little Water Monitor...

And on the opposite side of the causeway were these two young Hippo testing the french kissing techniques...

When I arrived at Mopani I was a bit early, so headed straight for FC's accommodation, he had just returned from his morning drive,...and was a bit startled to see me standing there.

We sat and enjoyed a cold one, then I had a plan.

I phoned my buddy Rodger at Tsendze and asked if we could pop in for a visit. He was as happy as a....

After a quick stop at Mopani shop for a few more cold ones and some air time for Rodger, we pulled in at Tsendze. FC loved the place and Rodger was once again the perfect host. $\O$ He took us for a walk, in the serious heat, to find Owls. We managed to spot three species, but I could only photograph two.

Here they are, first an African Barred Owlet...

And an African Scops Owl...

I didn't get a pic of the Pearl-spotted Owlet, but we saw and heard it. It was great meeting up with you again FC, hopefully I will see you again before you head back to Europe. $\O$

You sure had a great day in the park today Sprocky. Seriously green with your Barred Owl. $\O$

Hope FC is having some luck with sightings as well. $\O$
