A Flutter with a Few Firsts

[Flutterby]

Mon. April 22, 2013, Part 2
Tamboti - Skukuza

Another first for us...bushbuck on the S100.



We also came across a family of gooble-goobles... -O



...and a fish eagle.



Someone had told us of lions at Gudzani East but before reaching it , we stopped next to a vehicle with some youngsters from the UK. “There’s a lion in the hedge there.” A hedge? In Kruger? -O Oh well, we searched the hedge in question and the Brat spotted it – another great lion sighting!



We carried on to Gudzani East and found a male lion sleeping quite far off...not even worth a pic...yet another quality sighting! And that was the sum total of lion sightings this trip!

We turned back and headed towards Nwanetsi for a pit stop. Another Water Monitor...we saw quite a few on this trip.



This impi looked like Bambi with those white spots!



A family gathering.





Something to brighten our day.

A pity about those lions hiding out in the bush Flutts

Great bushbuck sighting on the S100 Fairly rare there

Some fantastic pics

The grass is still quite high! We saw lions twice in January more or less like yours -O

S100 always has surprise... not often this one we would like but a Bushbuck

nice Eagle gooble-goobles (what is that except a Hornbil)
and, of course Water Monitor
but this time, I love particulary the Bambi and the Dragonfly

Some lovely shots here, Flutterby,

especially the fish eagle, the bushbuck, the monitor, the egyptian goose and the impala

Fantastic shot of the dragon fly - how did you get it to sit still long enough to take a photo?

Bambi is really cute.

Pity about the lions - maybe next time.

Aaaah the S100 - the jury is still out on that - we have had more bad days
than good ones but we still go back - and back - and back

Nice bushbuck - looks as if his hair is standing on end

Pity the lions were so well hidden
