As I was leaving it was pointed out to me that the Stone Cradle Restaurant and Conference Centre was on fire.

A thatched roof if not treated continuously burns very quickly

What a pity

That was rather fast

But let's not forget to mention that you posted some really nice bird shots once again! $\O$

Last night Joan and I decided to do a quick morning trip this morning.

A first for us - Cape Weaver.

Red Hartebeest.

Ummmmmmm?????????????

Squacco Heron - How he hopes to see anything in THAT water????????

Green-backed Heron.

Another Squacco Heron at Island View Hide.

Cape Wildebeest - much prettier than its ugly cousin in Kruger.

Found this moth in the toilets at Rietvlei Cofee Shop.

An inquisitive European Bee-eater.

Finally a B.S.K.
