An Ellie popped out of some bushes

Lake panic was very quiete apart from the residents

We stopped in at the new Golf club and had a lovely breakfast

We left and carried on towards Tshokwane .The train was still stuck on the bridge :twisted: lol --00--
Image

A Giant heron was hiding in the shade as the temperature was rising rapidly
Image

We stopped into Leeupan
Image

Image

Another Heron in its nest
Image

We stopped in a Tshokwane for a brief toilet break and carried onto Nkumbe lookout
Image

A Coucal along the S128
Image

On the Lower Sabie bridge we found a King fisher
