A bit further from the lions there was even a larger pond which had still a bit more water left and we saw quite a few white faced ducks
and also a grey heron but same was a bit too hidden.
Now finally we turned into the H4-1 and stopped shortly at the N’watimhiri waterhole but as same looked extreme sad with only few water and nothing else left we carried on and wanted to drive the S79 which is leading closer to the Sabie river but we stood in front of the one and only road closure sign we noticed this year in the entire park. Obviously that little loop did not survive the flood last year.
So we had to drive the H4-1 which is in fact not our favourite road in that area at least in February as the vegetation along that road is far too dense in spotting something at least most of the time. At least we now could make ourselves a better view about the road which had caused last year that much trouble as same was washed away at two parts.
Along that road we today only spotted a couple of giraffes feeding on the many acacia bushes along that road
and then we finally stood again in front of sunset dam where again but a bit too far away for our liking we noted yellow billed storks but quite close to were we stood but we were happy about another three banded plover,
and a white crowned lapwing although must say that the dam looked more like a green soup than a water source.
Timon was more focussed onto the dam when I made him aware that right now a diderick cuckoo landed on a bush close to where we stood so we were extreme happy in finally getting a couple of extreme close shots
from a bird which is normally not willing to pose that clear and close for us.
After the diderick flew finally away we changed our position and detected nearly on the other side of the dam a spoonbill and black winged stilts as well as many hippos
but also today we again discovered even more crocodiles in the entire dam
than hippos
and finally also one of the yellow billed storks came a bit closer.
