Even the rhinos playing hippos...almost ;-) It's a lovely pic with all the sacred ibises around =O:

What a sad moth story :-( I am sure that you would have another try if the situation should occur again :yes:

Cute new wildebeests O/\ O/\

Bad luck with the moths and butterflies you have, Flutts! lol lol lol

Not fair - after all that trouble to save the moth a vervet has it as a starter. @#$ @#$ @#$

That hippo certainly has organised itself a lovely place to stay - water, reeds and shade.

The little wildebeest were too cute. Wonder how many will survive this terrible drought we are having.

I was not impressed with that vervet! :evil: We saw some really thin wildebeest. :-( There is still quite a lot of water around but grazing doesn't look so good. :no:

The following morning Bea and I were up early to be back in the park when the gates opened... we left the kids behind. :twisted:

We headed up Kgama Drive which was very quiet except for a few birds.

Black-shouldered Kite

Image

Sabota Lark (I think)

Image

Fawn-coloured Lark -O-

Image

Violet-eared Waxbill

Image

An impala with a broken horn

Image

Another little willie! :-0

Image

Roadblock!

Image

White-fronted Bee-eater

Image

We then headed to Makorwane Hide where we were able to sit for a while without kids nagging to leave. O**

Image

Another bee-eater.

We have yet to see a Violet-eared Waxbill.

Beautiful birds with the last bee-eater taking the first price even if the violet-eared waxbill has some lovely colours ^Q^ ^Q^ \O
