7 April 2016.
Today started off very well with our first ever sighting of Rains two sons who by know had formed their own coalition and were roaming around on their own. They were very far off therefore we had to zoom way up and then crop to try and get some sort of photo.
This Pin-tailed Whydah sat still long enough for me to get a shot.
Is this guy blind in this eye?
A large crocodile at Mankwe Dam.
7 April 2016 to be continued.

Great cheetah sighting
Wouldn't know about the kingfisher............sometimes birds have double eye eyelids i.e a membrane that they use when diving
Great shot of the whydah

A pair of Golden-breasted Buntings at Pilanesberg Centre.
A nice mixed vegetation scene.
Chewing the cud.
A first ever for us - Lesser Grey Shrike.
Black Shouldered Kite.
We thought that this was such a peaceful scene.
Good buddies.
