I suppose that they build their nests in trees \O

Elephant dung is popular with a lot of creatures ;-)

Love Is In The Air

On our recent trip to the KTP (springtime) it seemed like "love was in the air" for many, many species, from insects to raptors and many in between. On one evening drive these secretary birds were in some sort of courtship display atop a potential nesting site. I suspect a new Kalahari family is in the making… 0/0
