Africa Wild

The Lions have moved the carcass, they seem all of them have eaten, remain one attempting to snatch the last pieces.
And they decide to leave, not without throwing a glance back ... Jackals are ready.
They find a small puddle and all drink a good blow, including baby. They cross the road and went in the dunes.

I'm going to Kamqua and I return slowly to the camp. On the way, LBR, Pygmy Falcon, Martial Eagle and just before Mata Mata two male lions are watching me



At the camp, two LBR are courting themselves and I enjoy the "come and go" at the waterhole and at my little spa

7°…
I leave relatively early ... and go back, where I think that could be a den....
Bingo the little ones are out and play like crazy while mom keeps a watchful eye on her offspring.
I count 6, but I have only 5 in the photos
Maybe I can not count
Well, it's not easy to have them all together, they are so restless.... or deep in their den
Beautiful little critters

Then a Slender Mongoose, a Hoopoe an Agama and a Verreaux's Eagle Owl in the nest

African Hoopoe/Huppe d'Afrique

Common Scimitarbill/Irisor namaquois

Springbok with a Drongo playing Oxpecker

Groundscraper Thrush/Merle(Grive) litsipsirupa

I return early, I have an appointment
An appointment long awaited ... in the tent No. 1 (Honey Moon). There are already 4 people on the terrace, Sharifa, Duke and a couple of friends
Great, I'm happy. A big thank you for the wonderful meal for the patience to listen to me gabble in English ... and for the invitation

Tonight I'm going to Craig Lockardt, nothing special ... the waterhole is much more attractive

9°… This morning
Again Huppe and the offerings of Bee-Eaters, magnificent.
I am looking if the Verreaux's Eagle Owl has a young in the nest ... impossible to see through all its branches.
A Kori turn its back to me
A Secretary bird has water until its baggy pants, which did not enjoy it at all
Snake Eagle, Steenbok, Martial Eagle and general games.

Secretary Bird/Secretaire



Verreaux's Eagle Owl/Grand Duc de Verreaux

Back on the terrace and again waterhole is much more busy
Giraffes are already drinking, Kalahari Scrub-Robin, Bulbul, Ostriches and ... it's too crowded

two heads Ostrich

Beetle

African red-eyed Bulbul/Bulbul brunoi

LBR, Chestnut-vented Tit-Babbler and again the Yellow Mongoose makes an appearance. Is that my friend I do not think, there must have one "attached" to each tent, well almost

I have not reviewed the Crows and I'm not complaining.
A Jackal goes down along my perimeter ... the light is beautiful.

Burrowing Ground Beetle Passalidius fortipes

They have large fierce mandibles and a pedunculate body: The ponontum and the hindbody are separated and linked by a neck, very cool contruction
