Another morning drive before the hard work of the afternoon O**

I start in Nossob riverbed, with the secret hope of meeting ... anything can happen and everything makes me happy ;-)

Following the dunes, a herd of Wildebeest made its appearance, en route to the water point, it is so dry and it's nice to see them down the hill in single file, more or less calm

This morning, I'm spoiled by the Falcons, Red-necked and Lanner and later even a Common Fiscal. A mongoose makes its apparation and hides in the bushes immediately! and I also found a large number of Namaqua Sandgrouses that take flight and come again in an enchanting melody

I didn't know that Sangrouses rolled in the sand -O

A Martial Eagle, a Steenbok trying again to hide and OOPS, a Springbok that jumps, I have followed the movement, it is a cat jumping on a mouse or whatever ... an African Wild Cat, on the lookout ;-)

Even the bus behind to me could not find it! and I'm not strong to explain the right place, I usually take a pictures of the surroundings in order to point the location =O:
