Weird place this! lol

You must give those idiots on the 4x4 thread some advice! :twisted:

I think like you, the Abdim's came from the North... maybe Okavango -O-
A place where all can arrive O/\ each time it's so different O\/
4x4 need a convoy... and 2x4 need to stay at Twee Rivieren =O: =O: =O:

The Kgalagadi is always good for a surprise or two :shock:
So many Abdims... incredible! But then again, you often find birds
that are not supposed to be there. In this case it's the numbers of a
species that is totally amazing. O:V


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

Suddenly, what I think could be a Tawny, plunge on a prey to the ground :shock:
I follow him through my objective, it's a juv. Bateleur Eagle and the prey could be a squirrel :-?
When at last I can see it, it is impossible for me to identify it, it has already shredded it O-/
not time to share with another ;-)
