:-) :-) :-) :-)

thanks for the bird identification dewi.... i have another for you..

:-? :-? :-? :-?

the south western section of the park includes the valley of desolation and the viewpoint overlooking graaff reinet

it was a fairly pointless exercise heading there as the road to the top was hidden in clouds

so i took a meander along the road towards the staff quarters and back.....

some bontebok/blesbok

Great pics from you as usual. ^Q^

Your LBJ is a Pipit. I'll guess at Long-tailed, but don't quote me on it, these are a nightmare to ID correctly. :-? :-? :-?

Thanks for sharing your trip Leachy.

It seems to have a relaxing atmosphere. \O

I loved the 'prime property' home. (I say home, 'cos all houses with verandahs around, spell a home to me -O -O )
