Re: BT on the trail of the mythical Pangolin
Still on the road to N'wanetsi, I got lucky with some birds in flight.
Bateleur.
Black-Shouldered Kite at the hover.
And Whitebacked Vulture.
At Nwanedzi a Rainbow Skink was trying to decide if a caterpillar was edible.
From the lookout, we watched a Crocodile takes a leisurely swim around the pool.
Another Rainbow Skink catches some rays.
A Wasp with its Grasshopper prey was on the path near the bottom of the hill. I only got two pictures of this as a Touron with even less manners than usual, who could not wait for a few seconds, barged past me and scared the wasp away.
In the toilet I found a Lynx Spider.
After breakfast we took a detour to the Sweni Hide and found a Golly.
Some Terrapins sharing a rock.
A sunbathing Hippo
A hippo that was looking on....
As two others were mating.

"The Attack of the Cockroaches" 
Very funny looking spider, with the eyes on top of the head or are they fake?

Re: BT on the trail of the mythical Pangolin
Day 11 continued. The afternoon drive.
Not much to see this afternoon but the light was sublime.
Red Crested Khoraan.
Another Rain Locust.
At the bridge for our usual afternoon stop.
Tomorrow we pack up camp for the last time this trip and head to Lower Sabie for our last night in a hut.
It has turned out that it may have been the last time we ever slept in our wonderful - custom made - tent. We took delivery of an off-road trailer on Saturday.

Beautiful photos of the Saddle-billed Stork 
The rain locusts looks very fat and one can see the hearing organ!
