Probably the wrong time of the year for all other youngsters. But still curious why especially the wildebeest would have them -O-

Interesting thoughts on the stilts :-?

The bateleur is picture perfect, particularly the last shot ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^

And I love those cute squirrels 0/0

The hyenas opposite Kamqua waterhole? They had moved out temporarily in October last year.
But nan had already reported from them being around again in Jan / Feb. So I hope, they'll stay for us too :-0
