By cons, what we found is exceptional, a Jackal eating a Snake and especially a BEF devouring a Squirrel ... remember that these foxes are insectivorous :shock:
On the road there are some European Nightjars (Engoulevent d'Europe) almost never visible during the day.

During the last 5 km, it rains so hard that only 100 m would have because of our clothes ... I rarely seen a tropical rain so long... and violent, that is normal ... and wetting of course =O: =O: =O:

the driver didn't even see the road 0'

Departure to 8 hours, after putting everything in the sun ... to dry, only jeans my nephew and my shoes remain at TR.... inside... because of the Jackals O**
We prepare the snacks and hop towards Nossob Riverbed. A halt, as usual near the small pond of Twee Rivieren where there is a Black-headed Heron and at the soggy Samevloeiing after the rains that night.

PCG poses for a photo, beautiful adult, supervising all around.
Again Auchterlonie for a stop... looking for reptiles, we are alone, we parked the car nearby the way ... just in case ... but anyway we don't have to run, but one can simply not follow the lane and go through the "plants" ... it's the environment, or our lives ^0^
It is understood that we are opening the eye, and the good, before leaving the car.
No snake ...Lion ... nor leopard O-/

And the jackpot for the park O/\ O\/ O/\
a Pallid Harrier, extremely rare ... if ever seen in the park.
Too bad it's on a low branch, in the shadows, the picture is very difficult :-(
