2020 - Summer At Hazyview

[Richprins]

Lis!

Quite rare to see action at a dam in summer!

Great peaceful scenes all round.

[Alf]

Lots of action

Looks like a nice dam

[Flutterby]

Lots of action there.

[Lisbeth]

It was the right time of the day, just after 17:00

[Pumbaa]

Really love your hippo action shots, Lisbeth,

and great to see such a large herd of buffaloes plus all the waterbirds

[Klipspringer]

Interesting: the egrets fly in first and thereafter the buffs follow.

[Lisbeth]

The egrets are quite a lot quicker than the buffs are. It's difficult to fly slowly

One day, some time....

Today I took again the Albasini Road towards Pretoriuskop, I wanted to go to the Mestel Dam and then take the Voortrekker road and end up a the Lake Panic Hide.

Right at the beginning a small Three-banded Plover all by itself running around



A group of bee-eaters huddling together



Ms red-backed shrike



and a couple of not laughing doves but Green Spotted Wood Doves



There was a big herd of zebras spread out also quite far from each other



I couldn't resist a bumshut



All alone contemplating the world



We stared each other down for some time




Lots of impies all over the place in company with more buffalos







and another staring contest
