I don't know if you noticed, but the last pic wasn't Harry's willebees... lol

This was a really special sighting, something I have always wanted to witness while sitting on my bum! ;-)

They started jogging once the lead male had checked things out!

These animals are MILES more aware and alert than the average drinkers! :yes:



Image



The waterhole is a mudhole....wonder if one can't have a trough as well? :-?



Image


Maybe a yellow-billed oxpecker on a sable? :shock:

And then they started leaving! :-0

What a wonderful sighting! Really a special and memorable day. O\/

I thought about starting a topic "Room With A View" or " Scenes From Inside Camps", etc etc., but didn't know if many had such pics. This would be perfect there! ^Q^ I had photographed the gator roll w/ the hippo from our perimeter tent at Lower Sabie, and have others from there, but didn't want it to become a topic with just me posting (like the monkey encounters topic O** O** ) :o0ps: :o0ps:

Excellent encounter :ty: :ty:

Thanks!

It is a nightmare whether to decide to "auto-correct" the exposure in post-production or not...there is too much contrast in background and subject! 0:

Puhlently of light, though! \O

And it is too far away! lol
