Africa Wild

Great photos everyone

MONDAY 30 SEPTEMBER 2013 - Part 2/2

It was getting closer to our last day and we kept wondering if Pilanesberg would live up to its 7 year run of giving us an exceptional sighting on our last day.

Anyway, back to now.

Kalahari scrub-robin.


Little - bee-eater.


Yellow-billed stork.


Amethyst sunbird.


Black-chested snake-eagle. A first for us.


Black crowned tchagra. Another first for us.


Barn owl sleeping in the Mankwe Hide roof.


This guy came to visit every night. I think it is a scrub hare.


NEXT: Pete and Margie go to Pretoria for the day and I spend the afternoon in agony.

The barn owl is having a nice "close eye" Such a cute hare

I think that the LBJ is a Kalahari scrub-robin.

Lovely pics and sightings stf!! The lion can't be too comfortable with a collar and heavy mane...not often you see a male lion collared. Love the owl!

Thanks very much for the positive ID Lisbeth. I have amended the heading to the photo.

Thanks very much Flutterby. Thinking of it this is the first male we have seen with a collar.

Super birdies STF ... and I love the owl. I have a similar picture.

The yellow billed stork is high on my wish list, and great pic of the bee-eater.
