never seen there... "only" in the Kgalagadi (where it's easier), so well done right place, right time
magnificent Croc, love the Ground Hornbill, so nice eyes, and cute little Mongoose

Seen them in camps before but great to see them in the park

That Biyamiti Weir is a unique view in Kruger!

Nice giraffe too.

Not one but two Honey badgers

The old giraffe is not only eating, he is also being eaten

yes the birds love to clean the Giraffe

Love to spend time at Biyamiti weir and also a honey badger WoW

thank you Pumbaa

We put some bird seeds out at Marloth and some finches came to enjoy them


After a rest and some lunch we headed back into the park through Croc Bridge this time . It was still hot and there was nothing around until we got onto the S130 where we found some Buff occupying the water hole




Some impala were at the water hole opposite side of the road


We left and headed back to the gate as it was getting late .Crossing the bridge by the S28 a movement in the tree caught my eye and I stopped to see who was in the tree


A mongoose ran across the road and we thought there might be some action


but the owl wasn't watching this direction


We got one more pic before rushing off to get out the gate muttering about the shorter winter gate times ...

Great owl shot, Roger

and love the red light in some of the pictures

The waterhole pic is very nice and with a lovely light

A pity that the eagle owl was looking the other way.....not for the mongoose though

that second waterhole is where Dwarf and I spend much of our time, Rog!

Haven't seen an owl in ages!

Actually thinking about it there was a car parked back to the side at the waterhole .

The next morning was cool and misty start .We were off early to enter at Croc Bridge


The S28 was very quiet .I stopped to catch a dewy spider web


The roller was still defrosting


Heading up the main road the Fish eagle was also still warming up


We went over the Lower Sabie bridge and got a pic of the Hippos all pretty chilled


There was an old log floating around the opposite side


We stopped in at Lower Sabie for breakfast and enjoyed some birds in their rocky bird bath at the same time


After breakfast we stopped in at Sunset dam but all we found were some barn swallows flying into the overflow pipe

wow love Blue Waxbill (is not the best to give them to eat )
The Owl is a Verreaux's Eagle-Owl, a so nice one and a Slender Mongoose
then the African Voice and Starling having a bath, maybe Cape or Greater Blue-eared Starling (I can't see if there is a mask or no)

lovely,
