We eventually left the two love birds and went down to Nossob to do all the admin stuff and to do a few purchases from the shop
Back to Polentswa
Back at Cubitjie Quap, the lions had moved down to the waterhole for a spot of refreshment after all their early morning antics, and were enjoying a well deserved drink
I did mention earlier about big brother checking up on junior
Here he is

Lovely sighting, Gavin!
Mating lions are a thrill to watch, long and noisy!

Thanks everyone for the responses, and my apologies for only getting to post again now
It looks like once a week is sadly becoming the norm.
So we left the happy couple and their chaperone and set off back to camp at Polentswa
On the way back, it seemed as if it only bateleur eagles and vultures were prepared to show themselves to us
At Cubitjie Quap
at Kwang
And at Polentswa in the evening whilst have a sundowner after a pleasant afternoon back in camp

I was particularly proud of my effort in getting this Bateleur in flight

Lovely bateleur, Gavin!
Maybe you should crop the pics?
Ja, I only post once a week too, no problem!
