And I also love the dikkop peeking out, and of course the foxes :-0

(The cheetah sighting is obviously fantastic too, but I saw that one already lol )

thank you

The next day, we expect Eric and me that mechanics arrive. I must leave the camp at 10AM and can't enter at Kieliekrankie before 2PM and again the fridge problems arise, like the car didn't moved, the battery must again be dead.
Meanwhile I sat on the terrace, I do some cleaning in the kitchen, in hope Eric will not too late. The waterhole was especially busy that morning, a small compensation for my troubles.
Kori, Giraffes, Springboks and a hundred Gnus, chased by the furious owner, at all that comes and goes.
Everything is more or less back to normal, a group of Sandgrouses arrive to the water ... a Falcon as well ... O-/

And the massacre start :shock:

He grabs a first Sandgrouse, a Tawny comes almost immediately steal to him.
Patience, he must still have the munchies ... 0' he is ready for the second one...
This is laborious, it hurts its, wait for it moves again to bounce, yet the spleen, and still, like cats, expects it moves, to pounce on it.
Finally the martyrdom is over, he shreds it and swallows it leaves a small "nothing" that theTawny Eagle will hasten to come pick up.

Image done, more or less neat

Image Tawny is ready
