Loved the quickie Flutterby
Can relate to the Lion the flies in a game park always seem to be about 10 X the size of normal house flies
Guess its a true African rainbow if there are storks at the end of our rainbows our African gold is babies ....

I always love those rainbow shots when in the bush, Flutterby,
plus white storks and even so many of them

Re: Our Pilanesberg Adventures
January 2020
My friend Ash, who is out from the UK, suggested that the two of us take a day trip to Pilanesberg yesterday, which I eagerly agreed to. I picked her up at 4.30am and we were at Manyane Gate by 6.30. Not even a minute after entering the park we came across three precious ones!! They were in thick bush at first and difficult to photograph, but two of them eventually crossed the road and moved into shorter grass.
Ash was very excited. Her aunt had been in the park two days before and their only noteworthy sightings were one elephant and giraffe. Her aim was to see 3 of the Big 5, so we'd got the first one under our belt.
A Black-chested Snake-eagle.
A Sabota Lark, I think.

Re: Our Pilanesberg Adventures
Game was very scarce but there were a few birds about.
Groundscaper Thrush.
These girls were very curious.
We made a stop at Ratlhogo Hide but it was also quiet, except for the Village Weavers and Lesser-striped Swallows....
... and a sleepy hippo.

Rhino are so rare to see anywhere these days!
