more to the bush than just the big and hairy mammals
Thanks General! I agree, I prefer to see the unusual but it does get frustrating when sightings of anything are few and far between!

That one was running through the camp site so it was a lucky sighting. The other big spider I saw at Tsendze was actually a Huntsman Spider.

How about starting a thread for scary stories?

Day 9 continued.


Watching a dead, treeclimbing Impie.

Image








Our patience was rewarded and the princess appeared.
Image
Image

She ripped off a chunk of meat and departed.
Image
Image

But she was back 5 minutes later.
Image
Image
Image


I think she was getting frustrated with the position of the carcass and she tried to pull it down. She got a good grip and started to tug.
Image

She was tugging so hard that her back feet came off the tree.
Image

And then she lost her grip and fell.

We waited a while longer but she didn't reappear so we went back to the bridge for a golden sunset.
Image

The road back to Balule.
Image

At the Hyaena den, supper was being served.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Back at Balule, under the eaves of the ablution block; a pair of House Sparrows.
Image
Image

And Little Swifts.
