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 lol

0/* Trying to catch up on some old ;-) favorites here :o0ps: :o0ps:

Seeing the Shipandani Hide brings back good memories of our overnight stay there - loved it. :-0
You did get some nice scenery shots, RP ^Q^ , and the Pygmy Kingfisher is such a special sighting O\/ . I'm pretty impressed with your Scop's sighting all due to your knowledge about their call - good job! X#X

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: "..."
