Excellent quality of superb speccies and of scenery. Looking through your lens is magnificent ^Q^
Thanks for the comment Amoli, I'm so glad you enjoy my photography! I'll shoot anything that is in front of my lens!

Thanks for the pictures of my favourite road in the park - You are right the scenery and trees are brilliant but the animals are normally not that plentiful \O

Your captured the banded mongoose brilliantly and for sure all the birdies out of which the burchall's is my favourite ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^

It's one of our favourites too, I was quite disappointed that part of it was closed.

Day 7 continued.

Back at Shingwedzi I found some more bugs.

Another cryptically camouflaged Grasshopper.
Image

A different kind of Robber Fly.
Image

A Blister Beetle.
Image

An Acrea Butterfly of some kind.
Image
Image

And some very large Ants that were in a column which kept parading back and forth through our campsite.
Image
Image
Image
Image

We took our usual drive down the river loops in the afternoon.
Elephants.
Image
Image
Image

Impies that were all ears!
Image
Image

And reflecting Zebras.
Image

Another beautiful sunset from the camp.
Image

There were lots of Nightjars flying about and I managed to get this very poor shot using the camera's pop-up flash. It's good enough to ID it as a Square Tailed (Mozambique) Nightjar!

Great photos of the Impalas with ears all erect ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^ and a river scenery with elephants coming to drink is magic O:V

Mr Butterfly is an Acraea oncaea Window Acraea \O

CMR Bean Beetle Hycleus oculatus :shock: I hope you left it alone.

Excellent nightjar photo =O:

Love also the Impala and ellie shots, BluTuna ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^

When we drove the Mhongololo loop in February same was open but in the last part nearing Babalala lots of sand and building machinery could not be overlooked - Hopefully that road will now survive the next flood ;-)

Thanks for the comments & IDs Toko \O

I try not to disturb my subject matter and I'm glad I left that one alone!

Feel free to use the Nightjar pic in the bird book =O: =O: ;-)

Thanks Pumbaa! \O

That road must have been in a very poor state if it's taken this long to repair!
