Day 4. Wednesday 21 May 2014. Tsendze.

The SO stayed in bed this morning so I went out on my own.

I was a bit quicker off the mark with one of the local Hyaenas today.

Nothing but the sunrise at Mooiplaas Waterhole.

A peculiar buzzing sound heralded the arrival of the Anti-Poaching patrol.

Image

At Thingylongname, a Redbilled Quelea.
Image

Crowned Lapwings.
Image
Image
Image

And Brindled Gnus.

Heading back to camp, bathed in sunlight was Bowkerkop.

Hi Nan, here's more information about the plane.

Gnus do get enthusiastic when heading for water :-)

Here's a Tsessebe, taken on the way to Thingylongname that morning. I didn't put it in my TR because it was taken in poor light.
