Love also the Rock Kestrel and the Jackal Buzzard $\O$ $\O$ $\O$

But my fav is the Hibiscus pusillus Supercool find

Thanks for the ID of the flowers Toko $\O$
You saved me a lot of trouble

I had to google them to find out which names went with which plant

Aha!

Great raptors against blue skies! Also interesting interaction between the PCG and the what-ever snake. $\O$

Maybe aardvark, maybe aardwolf, maybe something else

We thought it was a cobra too nan but not so sure now

Spring will arrive there and winter here

A snake dark above and with speckled throat and yellow belly could be Psammophis crucifer, not a Cobra
