Great Cheetah sighting

[Alf]

Thank you all for the ID of the birds

These birds look all the same to me

[Lisbeth]

You'd better get a pair of glasses or start to study them a bit more closely

I must admit though, that most of us have difficulties with the brown ones, big or small

[Alf]

When i open the bird book all these brown ones looks brown and identical. And then any juvenile makes things even worse

[Lisbeth]

It gets a bit better when you learn to notice specific things like the colour of the eyes, bill, bars on the tail, size etc.

[Pumbaa]

Awesome that you found a cheetah, Alf,

love also your raptors

[Alf]

It was really hot again. Driving back to Mopani i thought we won't see much.......

Then Mrs. Alf said stop..... reverse.....

Wow Wow Wow

Our first roan sighting in Kruger







We couldn't count them as most were hiding behind the thick bushes



We thought what a great day. Even though we left camp so late

Then we stopped at a waterhole with some elephant activity

We saw this grumpy upcoming tusker



The younger elephant was like.... one day i also want big tusks like you.... i want to touch them...



No Stay away from my tusks



This youngster thought how do i use this long thing attached to my head



Cool i can use it to spray the water



While this guy couldn't wait to drink while watching the aliens carefully

[Peter Betts]

I love that Roan herd around Mopani

[Richprins]

Great sighting and congratulations on your first roan, Alpheus!

Also very nice elephant!

Looks hot indeed...

Why are your pics so small?
