Great sightings Joan and STF ^Q^ ^Q^

I have not seen a Goliath in Pilansberg yet - I am booked for a weekend in November and I will lookout for one.

I saw that croc on shore - it is big.... :O^ :O^ - There were many kiddie crocs around. :-0

Tomorrow will be our last full day and we are starting to build up some anticipation as to whether the "7 year last day special sighting" will come to fruition as it has always done in the previous years.

WEDNESDAY 2 OCTOBER 2013 Part 2/2

Back to today.

A three in one sighting from Pilanesberg Centre.
Image

Got these close ups of a giraffe enjoying the salt lick.

"Gotta get a good lick on this one."
Image

"Have to get every drop off."
Image

"The after taste is just soooooooo divine."
Image

Monkey playing Tarzan.
Image

Blue waxbill.
Image

Four rhino somewhere in Pilanesberg.
Image

Mother and baby springbuck on Tlou Drive.
Image

Yet another LBJ that I cannot identify - maybe the two dots on the tail will be a clue? Please help with an ID.
Image

Grey hornbill.
Image

Black shouldered kite.
Image

Our last braai so I stoked up the fire as we had invited some other folk who we see every year to join us.
Image

NEXT: Our last full day will be split into three parts. Did it produce a special sighting or not?

I cracked up with your giraffes... great pics ^Q^ ^Q^

That vervet is so naughty. He zapped one of my friends' pancakes - so quick - so stealfully.
I was still shouting HOU TOE, HOU TOE (hold on, hold on), which of course drew many other people's attention.
Boy did they laugh at our stunned faces... =O: =O: And then he goes and sits in the tree and enjoys his meal. :O^

Excellent!

Great pics! Interesting the giraffe licking bones and salt so much? Wonder what the explanation is?

Clever muti! \O
