Well done on the sunbirds, STF! They are always fluttering about ;-)

I have never seen a python :-0

Cute hare and dwarf mongooses, but not much for a whole sunset drive :no:

Thanks very much Lisbeth.

Those sunbirds are tricky little things to get pics of.

We were very disappointed with the sunset drive.

Today we leave Orpen and travel down to Skukuza. H7, H1-3, S86, H1-3, H1-2, H12, H4-1, H11, Lake Panic and to Skukuza.

Seen on the H7 - a troop of baboon waking up.

Nsemani Dam.

Thick Knee chicks right next to the car at Nsemani Dam.

We popped into Satara for a comfort break and got these two pics of unidentified birds.

Seen just outside Satara on our way to Tshokwane for brunch.

Two LBR's after a third ones meal. This was a first for me to capture three LBR's in action.

To be continued.

Fabulous bird pics O/\ O/\

Do you have another pic of the black-capped bird and also of the other one? ( I think it is a cisticola, but not sure which one)

I agree with Lis about the cisticola. \O Could the black-capped one be a Black-backed Puffback? :-?
