Love the fat lion, your birdies, the jackal and that brown hyaena, the elephant shrew and the yellow mongoose - Simply fantastic
BluTuna goes West again - minus the BluTuna.

Brownies are one of my favourites, such handsome creatures! Not a bad day considering I didn't go for a morning drive.Pumbaa wrote:WoW, BluTuna,

Hunting cannot be considered a sport as all contestants in a sport should know they are playing the game!

Monday 21 September. Nossob.
Another cloudy start to the day.
We headed south, the Lions at Rooikop had moved on.
At Marie se Gat, a pair of Lappetfaced Vultures.
And another Bushvelt Elephant Shrew - I'm getting lucky with these!
It gradually brightened up and the sun came out.
Martial Eagle.
Another small creature - Brants' Whistling Rat!
On the way back to Nossob, at Rooikop we found that the rest of the Nossob Pride had had moved in, 11 in total.
This subadult male was itchy.
Then he spotted the culprit - a fly.
And tried to catch it.

Back at Nossob, a Squirrel was burying a nut.
At the hide, a Scalyfeathered Weaver, a Redheaded Finch and some Springboks.
The afternoon drive was a bust, not much to see except some scenery and some hunkered down BBJs at CQ.
I was about 15kms north of Nossob when the dust storm hit.
As soon as it passed I turned around and headed back to camp, luckily the wind hadn't caused any damage to the tent.
Everything was covered in a layer of fine sand, even inside the buttoned-up tent. The wind died down as the evening went on and we even managed a braai.

Great bird pics, especially the martial eagle
The lion sequence is very entertaining
and of course I love the squirrel
The fine sand enters even if it seems that there is nowhere to enter
