Wildebeest Family

I don't have any good pics, but these show there were youngsters around, unlike springboks, gemsboks, etc. where all we saw were adults.

Stilt Family ??

For you smart birder types - just because I have an adult and juvenile Stilts in the same photo, does that necessarily mean the adult is their parent?? -O-
I mean, is it possible juvs. old enough to be on their own end up in the same water point as an unrelated adult?

This one doesn't quite measure up to being a family just yet, but was in the process of constructing a comfy nursery O:V

Wow Exfmem!

These are some of the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen of a Batteleur!
