Whoooweee - most amazing photos Amoli and B.T. I am unable to pick a favourite as they all so good. ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^

Joan and I went on Friday afternoon to take my mind off the 13 naughty moles that the dermatologist had just burnt off me. So off we went with me smelling like the after effects of a local braai.

A young wattled lapwing quenching its thirst.

At Otter Bridge Joan spotted this beauty having dinner - looks like "koring kriek".

Here he is busy softening it up by beating the living daylights out of it on the branch.

Image

Swallowing his dinner.

Image

After action satisfaction.

Image

Later in the afternoon some clouds came up and made for very dull photography but I had to take some shots of this handsome fellow.

Image

Image

Even later the clouds disappeared and out came the most amazing sunlight for this stonechat.

Image

A few late afternoon storm cloud photos as we left.

Image

Managed even to get the moon in on this shot.
