@Michele - You haven't been to Kruger for quite some time, if I don't error. Maybe the migrants have arrived in Sep/Oct I hope so

Re: When small Streams turn into Rivers
I don't think this a buzzard or a tawny. The legs are feathered but not very "feathery" I thought maybe a Booted Eagle but then I considered Lesser Spotted Eagle .....?????
I am not the best with the Kruger raptors ....just my 5c worth. )

Sunday, 12. February 2023 Pretoriuskop
Explored roads: H1-1 – S66 – H4-1 – H12 – H4-1 – H1-1 – H11 – S1 – H11 – H1-1
During the night the thunderstorm arrived and it once again rained torrentially indeed not very promising at least when the alarm clock rang it was luckily dry so we enjoyed a first coffee and when it was time to leave we left the gate. Funny was that after the masses of rain during the night today the loop roads were open although they were still closed yesterday evening nevertheless we left them out in the morning and drove again straight to Shitlave where we spotted a green shank
who took an extensive bath as if not enough water came from above already.

I was last in Kruger in 2015....and yes I'm hoping to see some migrants but possibly a bit early still.

Re: When small Streams turn into Rivers
Catching up again, Pumbaa!
I really enjoyed the last two episodes, all sorts of sightings and glorious pics!
Quite rare to see wildebeest in the Mphongolo.
And maybe that is a striped kingfisher?
Love the Redrocks views plus all the bee-eaters!

Re: When small Streams turn into Rivers
The striped kingfisher has a very distinct dark eyestripe and below the feathers are beige not brown
