[RogerFraser]

Ok thanks for letting me know will try keep an eye on it

[RogerFraser]

Thanks for the comments .Hope all can see the pics .

At Sunset dam all we found were some reptiles lazing




A Hippo briefly checked out if there were any interesting humans on the side but soon went back to sleep under the water again


Most of the birds were all sitting in the shade




At the lower Sabie bridge we found one willing to pose in the sun


And another reptile was warming up


On the way back to the gate we spotted some stripes


We watched some acrobatics .


On the road back to Marloth the sun was already setting on the day .

The monitor looks completely exhausted

An immature goliath heron

Those little boons are having great fun! It is rare to see them in such a tall tree

I like the pic of the croc on land; nice colours

for the comments it was a reptile & bird day .

The next morning we had a day visit booking so got in early .

The first sighting with enough light was


This Fish eagle was just waking up and preening next to the Vurhami Bridge


This Hyena was standing behind the dewy Grass making his head seem strangely positioned by the light .


We drove up the S28 and did not have any real notable sightings .At Sunset dam we spent quite some time watching the birds hunting for their breakfast .







This Saddle bill entertained us for a while









We left to drive the S128 our favorite Cheetah road...
