Richprins' Escapades to Marloth

[Pumbaa]

Love the kudu and the zebra, Richprins

Despite the fact that the Kalanchoe is invasive same is looking interesting

[Richprins]

While the animals quite happily eat from your hand at the house, they move away when you approach them in the bush!

Checking out its shadow!

Dwarf checking out this evergreen tree, dunno what it is?

And back at home these little lizards are all over the wooden deck!

[Richprins]

One can get some nice zoom pics at the bird feeding plate!

And after some Dwarf decided to tackle the huge ironwood stump again using a new tactic!


It still survives unharmed to this day!

And home!


END OF SEGMENT

[Lisbeth]

It is really a nice place

[Pumbaa]

Could spend hours watching all the bird come and go at the feeding plate

[Richprins]

Our last trip for 2023 was in September...a nice time of year!

The queues of trucks were getting longer and longer!

We arrive just after dark normally, visitors to greet us, two giant kudu bulls!

Next morning the lawn was busy!

And of I went on A walk alone, as Dwarf was unwell...


Someone lives here:

[Richprins]

Something lives here too!

I walked the quick route south along the fence...

This weird plant?

[Richprins]

Pod closed:

Pod open!

I fear it is an invader species...

An aminal!

[Lisbeth]

If only all those trucks could travel on the railway; Cheaper and much faster

Just imagine what SA would have been today, if the various Governments had not ruined the country

[ExFmem]

Looks like you see quite a nice variety of animals there.

Do the trucks have their own lane, or do the cars also have to wait in that line?

I tried to look up that cottony plant, but couldn't find it. It is kinda unique, tho.

Is feeding the wildlife acceptable there? (No negative connotation implied, as I feed the birds, squirrels, etc here (even the tiny flying squirrels at night), just wondering so close to a "real" conservation area?
