When small Streams turn into Rivers

[Lisbeth]

Lots of pretty birds I wonder why I have never seen a little bee-eater At least I think so Mrs. Zorro is so pretty in that close-up pic

The water flowing across the causeway is impressive

[Richprins]

Interesting stuff, Pumbaa!

The S1 is a hit and miss road!

Stunning shot of the flooded causeway!

And always nice to find a bird party, amazing how sometimes one little spot is crammed with birds.

LOTS of great sightings - the kudu is very impressive , but it's the gorgeous birds that always catch my eye in your TTs.

We could not always drive that causeway during our many stays but we never saw that many water flowing The little bee eaters are such cuties

Believe me there will still a lot more birdies to come

Unfortunately as already said most of the birds could only be detected a bit far away but we nevertheless had a great time there and we were about to leave when two brown hooded kingfishers started their display.





On our drive back we stopped for a Wahlberg eagle,



another borwn snake eagle,



as well as an uncountable number of zebras





and for another raptor.





The general game meanwhile was plentiful so we took our time in stopping and photographing for warthogs,





another elephant bull,

giraffes



who were extreme hungry, according to experiences giraffes are always hungry



and another lilac breasted roller.



After a short body break in Skukuza camp we soon carried on and came across more warthogs



in a not that dense area there and we simply enjoyed watching their behavior





especially the little piglets were extreme cute.



At our beloved watching point on a bridge over a stream we again noticed the pied kingfishers



and along the Sabie river we noticed quite a few carmine bee eaters.



Then it got again a bit too quiet but along the H1-2 shortly after the broken road we noticed a water monitor exploring the river bed of a smaller stream and luckily for us same posed quite a few times for us.

It is definitely another world in Summer, Pumbaa!

I wonder what raptor that is?

Stunning last shot of the monitor there!
