Re: Up The Hill at Marakele
That yellow fronted tinkerbird is a great catch! And a little beauty as well. 
Hilarious woodpecker action!
And that hornbill chick is really cute.
Then the mating butterflies and the wasp with the caterpillar - very
Great stuff, BT!

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

Re: Up The Hill at Marakele
Time to finish this TR!
We took a drive in the afternoon and saw Pied Babblers, a rare sighting for us.
The mammal count was still low.
Giraffe, Impie and Zebra.
But the scenery was still special.
This was where we'd been the previous morning.

Re: Up The Hill at Marakele
On the last morning I found a Stick Insect at the kitchen.
A Warthog in the camp.
And a female Redbacked Shrike.
A short drive before we packed up and left only netted us an Orange-River Francolin which was great because it was another lifer for us!
THE END

Beautiful scenery and bushchick
Thank you giving us an insight into Marakele, which is not a very well know park for most of us
