10/13.11.2014 – Twee Rivieren – No. 11 (périmètre)

10.11.2014

We leave Kiliekrankie, views, spectacular sunrises and sunsets, to go finish our trip to the base camp, entry and out of the park :-(
Farewell small camps without fence ... the privileged view of the waterhole, but we gain a road, that of "Nossob river" which we take less when we stay in the "wilderness camps".
A Kalahari scrub robin wish us good road, three herds of Oryxes arrive at the pond, in a single file, the last has 12 individus going down the steep hill to get to the water.
Magnificent ^Q^

a Cape Sparrow also, but more difficult for a Groundscraper Thrush which is always moving and especially against the light.
Then Red-headed Weavers, male and female are launching the serenade, a Karasburg Tree Shink comes to have "a drink" at the bar below the braai.
Then Canaries, a young PCG, an Oryx marks its territory. I do a sign of farewell 0/*

A large flock of birds arrives at the pond, Sandgrouses, Burchell's Sandgrouse.
We see them thoroughly saturate their ventral feathers in the basin and to return to the nest ... in the red sand dunes.

We are not in a hurry.
We're going back to civilization more or less "active" of Twee Rivieren in "Nossob riverbed" via Kij Kij.
The road is new and a bit wider where some speeding and lack of concentration O-/
A Squirrel is flattened on the road and many others then ...

We arrive at Twee Rivieren at about 16h, we transfer our affairs in the cottage no 11, again without bat.
There is electricity and a network, we fill up our batteries, send messages, I make a phone to my old aunt to tell her that no Lion had eaten me ;-)
