This was a really special sighting, something I have always wanted to witness while sitting on my bum! ;-)

They started jogging once the lead male had checked things out!

These animals are MILES more aware and alert than the average drinkers! :yes:

The waterhole is a mudhole....wonder if one can't have a trough as well? :-?



Image


Maybe a yellow-billed oxpecker on a sable? :shock:

And then they started leaving! :-0
