With this last episode our stay comes to an end :-(

The mist had cleared and we set off on our return journey back to the concrete jungle O-/

In the farm lands we spotted more Blue Cranes ;-)

Up next was this cute Steenbokkie O/\

Driving through Hermanus we noticed they have a lot of 'new residents' who also seem to like the seaside holiday homes! =O:

Driving on the outskirts of Hermanus we spotted this dam with two Fish Eagles :-0
Stopping on the side of the road we just caught these two trying to be discreet behind the bushes :o0ps: =O:
Not a good photo but a first for us! - They did not even give me a chance to try and move into a better spot
to take a photo :no:
They just flew away so quickly! :shock:
IMG_8619.JPG
In the next dorpie/small town we had another resident who was rather comfortable on the roof of the
Pitzza Restaurant 0- Stuffed cheeks and all :shock: lol

Was getting ready to take a photo of the sand dune when the Mongoose came out, did not even give me time to zoom in 0*\
Look carefully you may spot it ;-)

Excellent, A-N! O/\

I laughed at that baboon in larney accommodation! =O:

Very rare fish eagle "business" !! :shock:

Those cranes creep me out a bit, for some reason... O-/ --00--

Interesting no vegetation on hangklip? :-? -O-

Thanks very much for this! X#X :yes:

Being the National Bird of SA there are not that many blue cranes around the country -O-

It was a great pleasure to follow you along the coast. I think that the coastal part is the one that I prefer of South Africa \O Thanks a lot AN, some well known places, but also some new ones 0/0 ^Q^ ^Q^
