Those big owls are rather fascinating with their pink eyeshadow

The owls are lovely!

My dad has lost a lot of weight but he still eats well.

Lower Sabie - Satara
During the night I woke up feeling sick and made it to the bathroom just in time!!

I lay in bed trying to work out what it could be and finally decided it mut be the malaria pills as this has happened to me in Kruger before!

Anyway, I'd set the alarm for 4.15 so that we could pack for our move to Satara. When the alarm went off it was pouring with rain, and I didn't fancy getting soaking wet so I told my dad we'd leave at 6am instead. I phoned my brother and he was very happy with the new time.

Luckily it had stopped raining by the time we did have to pack the car.
We headed to the H10 and said good morning to Mr Hippo.
At the end of the bridge I spotted a birdie in a tree. I only managed this pic before it flew off.

I think it's a Peregrine Falcon which is a lifer for me.
This little ellie was practising its ballet moves.
Family portrait.
There were lots of Wattled Starlings about.
Then we found 3 hyena in the road.
They would run in the road, stop to sniff around and then carry on running.
One disappeared into the bushes and the other two stayed on the road.
They must have run ahead of us for about 2kms before leaving the road.

Lousy weather!
The tinyphant is too cute and it also laughs
Hyenas in the road are not bad, even if they will hardly become "favourites"
Too bad that you were sick

Did it pass? I have not had problems anymore with the malaria pills, luckily!

Nice cool weather and scenery, Flutts!
Don't know that falcon?
LOVE the green view of the mountain there, looks like Zaire or something!
So there is hope for us middle-aged bachelors yet!

I like that last picture with the 2 hyenas running down the road with the green mountain in the background

Sorry to hear you were unwell! Hope you felt a lot better in the morning
Cool photo of your brother, Anna and the champagne bottle
Mystic shot of the hyenas walking down the road with the foggy hills in the background
You did score quite a few lifers on this trip
