Hey I haven't mentioned that leopard yet

[Richprins]

You saw so many?

[Heksie]

RP, look how far your TR has gone, sommer a few episodes in a short while, had to catch up quickly before I miss the cavebrown meet
Now how is it possible that you see a blackie sommer so... I have never seen one Still on my wishlist.
And now you mention leopard as well What do you guys do before entering a park? Some unpleasant rituals or something? Eating marmite on toast with lavender scented candles around your bathtub while marinating?
Love the fishes-started taking kiekies of them as well-but not ID's them yet

Whahahahaha Possible RP

[Richprins]

Those fish are Kurpers, Heksie..Tilapia sp.

No ritual except hoping to wake up in time and remember the camera etc. !

[Heksie]

RP we call it an alarm clock ne?
I pack my cam in even before the coolerbox... you must get your priorities straight

[Richprins]

Thanks, Heksie! I'll remember! (Haven't seen WD in kruger for a decade... )\O

So Destroyer and I finished our "sitting still" break, and moved up to the S-79....and eventually got to see the leopard couple...a difficult shot through the foliage!










Then down to a little pan I really like, on a dirt road South of LS....still cars at BC's 1st leopard sighting spot of the day on the bridge...or was it 6th...can't remember! -O





We sat chatting and drinking water for about half an hour, not expecting anything to happen, and already well satisfied by the day! Suddenly...as they do....











It was a bit of a nightmare with the sun obliquely from behind, so I've had to autocorrect some shots quite a bit!









But the sun was setting fast, as I checked through my binocs!


This boy was seeing how much mud he could carry! Maybe a couple...but they both seemed to be bulls?














The "Silver Suppository" had gathered a bit of dust...but shows you how close we were!
















Then the light was just about right...but too little for nice focus!


















"Chocolate ice cream cone vendor" was now very close indeed!





























And to crown it all an elephant came running past without doing anything...no idea what was going through his mind whatsoever!










Now we had to "Move it Move it" to meet the Cavebrowns...would they be acceptable....would they be boring...would they infect us...?


To be continued...
