Stopping for everything must have had something to do with the time it took
Great GBH sequence
How do you tell the difference between a Tawny and a Wahlberg’s I can never tell the difference
It was great meeting you guys and it’s a pity we didn’t have much time
The Travel Tale that is exactly that...

Very nice shots of the green backed heron Whenever we have seen them they just pretend to be statues

Thank you for confirming the IDs, FluttsFlutterby wrote:Nice pics of the heron.
I would agree on Wahlbergs and White-headed vulture.
Oh, yeah, that extreme sighting stopping thing had a lot to do with running late... And I think I would have loved to spend andBushcraft wrote:Stopping for everything must have had something to do with the time it took

evening braai over some cold beers rather than having to make a beeline after only a bit more than an hour or so
The only indication I found in my pic were those feathers that stand out at back of its head.
Aww, a nice thing to say. I hadn't considered that them standing still for a lot of the time could have been my fate too.PJL wrote:Very nice shots of the green backed heron Whenever we have seen them they just pretend to be statues
Now I appreciate the heron putting on that show for me even more.
God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Re: The Travel Tale that is exactly that...
When the time to say goodbye arrived at the meet, Richprins quickly hatched a plan to spend a few more minutes together.
He basically took me on a drive towards Orpen And it's amazing how quickly the time passes when you have a good
chat Before I knew it I was back in the SO's car again...
Now this is for the Prince
And this one too. Bathing time!
The heron I only noticed when I looked at the pic back at home

Ja, thanks for that delightful monster, Mello!
And nice to see waterbuck doing what they are supposed to do for a change!
At least I thought of a way to extend our forbidden time together...
Here you are taking a pic of your shirt! Ironically in my luxury German hatchback from your home town..what a small world?
It was great.
