MONDAY 30 SEPTEMBER 2013 - Part 2/2

It was getting closer to our last day and we kept wondering if Pilanesberg would live up to its 7 year run of giving us an exceptional sighting on our last day.

Anyway, back to now.

Kalahari scrub-robin.

Little - bee-eater.

Yellow-billed stork.

Amethyst sunbird.

Black-chested snake-eagle. A first for us.

Black crowned tchagra. Another first for us.

Barn owl sleeping in the Mankwe Hide roof.

This guy came to visit every night. I think it is a scrub hare.

NEXT: Pete and Margie go to Pretoria for the day and I spend the afternoon in agony.

The barn owl is having a nice "close eye"

Such a cute hare $\O$

I think that the LBJ is a Kalahari scrub-robin.

Lovely pics and sightings stf!! $\O$ $\O$ The lion can't be too comfortable with a collar and heavy mane...not often you see a male lion collared.

Love the owl! $\O$

Thanks very much for the positive ID Lisbeth. I have amended the heading to the photo.

Thanks very much Flutterby. Thinking of it this is the first male we have seen with a collar.

Super birdies STF ... and I love the owl. I have a similar picture. $\O$ $\O$

The yellow billed stork is high on my wish list, and great pic of the bee-eater.
