Our Pilanesberg Adventures

WoW, Flutterby,

the Rhino shots are stunning

and for sure brilliant bird shots as well

Great pic of the swallow

Thank you. They have nests in the hide and I think they get quite put out about the people...they fly straight towards you and veer off at the last second!

Looks very nice, Flutts!

A bit dense, the bush?

Rhino are so rare to see anywhere these days!

The bush is very dense! Yes, it's a treat to see rhinos now.

WoW, Flutterby,

Thanks so much Pumbaa.

This was a first for me in Pilanesberg - a Shaft-tailed Whydah.

I think this is a Pipit, but not sure which one...African?

Lovely Whydah pic....and with the whole tail in the frame

IMO the pipit is a lark....Short-clawed

I like your not-kudus in the grass

[Flutterby]

How do you distinguish a lark from a pipit?

[Richprins]

Interesting birdie combo, Flutts!

And plenty water!

[Flutterby]

For such a small park, there are so many dams!

Flutts
Nice sightings - especially the Rhino, and the Whydah

I could never go for just a day.
Would have to stay over for a night or two.

Hi Dzombo,

I also prefer staying over but we couldn't this time, and I was exhausted when I got home....I drove for 12 hours!

[Flutterby]

Trying to stay cool!
