Re: Remember remember to do some work in September .
At the scene of the Crime on the H7 the Predators had moved off and the scavengers had moved in . It was a field day for us to watch the Hyenas ,Jackals and Vultures scattered all over either eating or resting .We have lots of photos and videos of the scene .
This fellow came strolling by with its prize possession
We decided to leave the scene and head to Nsemani dam .At the dam we found some Fish eagle parents with a very demanding Juvenile chasing them around wanting to be fed .
We carried on to Satara for a break .

There is one "very" pregnant hyena lady in the crowd It seems that the poor little jackal didn't get much to eat
A very bossy fish eagle chick. It's time that it starts working for the food

Just saw those wonderful tiny, big bellies sweet hyena puppies. Oh my gosh, so cute!
I would not have recognized that one of the raptors is a juvvie fish eagle I thought it was some sort of funny looking vulture

It is always amazing watching a kill being demolished!
And the fish eagle interaction is nice, Rog!

Re: Remember remember to do some work in September .
Thanks Pumba it was a very easy sighting and taking photos with the kill
a very fat Hyena .The Jackal was sniping in and grabbing where it could . It was a very demanding youngster
yes us either it was just that it kept chasing them around and some more pics of it coming up on the return trip .
Was amazing to see that over the few days we were there the whole Buff carcass was cleaned up

Re: Remember remember to do some work in September .
So turning left onto the H1-4 towards Satara for our stop we found a few cars stopped what could they be watching . Oh look more Lions about 200m from the Satara turnoff .
They really did not look energetic at first
So we went to Satara and came back and found they had started to move around a little but it was at the far end of our camera equipments capability
We had been focusing on the Lionesses when suddenly a big male seemed to just materialize in the grass out of nowhere and wondered off into the grass again .Amazing that such a big animal could be unseen in the grass .All we got was a good shot of the bush he went behind but yo ucan kind of make him out
We turned back towards Nesemani to head back down the road and found a few cars going back and forwards and doing U-Turns .Pulled up and they told us a Leopard just crossed the road . We then saw the top of a Leopard moving through the grass and disappearing into a drainage area.
Arriving back at the Dam we found one of the Fish Eagle parents had landed close to the road .
And the other one had given in to the youngsters calls and was feeding it .
We carried on with our drive .
