I don't know if you noticed, but the last pic wasn't Harry's willebees...
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!
The waterhole is a mudhole....wonder if one can't have a trough as well?
Maybe a yellow-billed oxpecker on a sable?
And then they started leaving!

Well done!!!
God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

What a wonderful sighting! Really a special and memorable day.
I thought about starting a topic "Room With A View" or " Scenes From Inside Camps", etc etc., but didn't know if many had such pics. This would be perfect there! I had photographed the gator roll w/ the hippo from our perimeter tent at Lower Sabie, and have others from there, but didn't want it to become a topic with just me posting (like the monkey encounters topic )
Excellent encounter

Thanks!
It is a nightmare whether to decide to "auto-correct" the exposure in post-production or not...there is too much contrast in background and subject!
Puhlently of light, though!
And it is too far away!
