Great to see a scops owl and I am sure that you only saw it, because you heard it
I know that scops owl from another topic

And then a smashing sighting indeed!
I haven't seen a side-striped jackal in years, and certainly never one drinking!
And onwards!
The Shongololo Loop follows the Shongololo Stream...
BL: "I thought this was the Tsendze River still?"
RP: "Ja, I also thought so, but I looked at the..'
BL: "So you LIED!!!"
RP: "Well, it was still the Tsendze for a little bit.."
BL: "You said the scops owl was at the Tsendze crossing!"
RP: "..."
Anyway, one just goes for miles in this alien landscape...
The baobab is dead from elephant, I think?
There were birds appearing out of nowhere too!
