Kalahari Ramblings - meanderings without any apparent direction…

[Richprins]

The wildebeests are at least yearlings, I think, Ex?

Great explanation from nana, sounds good!

What rare bateleur pics!

[Lisbeth]

The wildebeests are at least yearlings, I think, Ex?

They are still part of the family though

[Mel]

Probably the wrong time of the year for all other youngsters. But still curious why especially the wildebeest would have them

Interesting thoughts on the stilts

The bateleur is picture perfect, particularly the last shot

And I love those cute squirrels

The hyenas opposite Kamqua waterhole? They had moved out temporarily in October last year.
But nan had already reported from them being around again in Jan / Feb. So I hope, they'll stay for us too

Thanks All-Nature, nan, Flutts (yes, the hyenas were back at Kamqua, tho' I barely managed even that photo, mostly hidden) Sis, RP, and Mel. Welcome aboard BravoEen and thank you for the lovely comment.

The spots of the moth look like glass eyes

12. Animal Antics: Which AW member's saying, in TTs, does this pic remind you of?

I am not sure what saying it is, but it is most likely one of Bushcraft's ( teeth hanging out, not eye )

The grass hopper is brilliant

Lovely birds and also the insects are great

There are four leopards ....Just count the pics, one, two, three, four
