Also love your malachie shots, Lisbeth O/\

They are such beautiful tiny birds ^Q^ ^Q^ For sure also love all the other bird shots as well and indeed luckily there are birds around - I somehow know that phrase X#X X#X X#X but nevertheless we are big fans of the feathered ones O\/

The two kinds of kingfishers were a nice touch, but the day would have been a success in any case. Meeting RP after having "known" him for 12 years was rather special. We have had our ups and downs, but basically, with all our differences, I think that we respect each other and face to face the differences aren't that many after all ;-) Maybe if we meet too often we'll end up quarrelling lol lol

Thank you to Alf, Flutterby, Klippie, Mel, Pumbaa, Ex, RP, Peter and Sprocky for being so positive, also when it is not the case O**

On to the last Kruger day!

Just outside the farm on the sand road leading to the main road a couple of squirrels were eating what I think were mangoes. There were lots of mango trees around and I could certainly not pass them without taking a few shots ;-)
