I have been searching through a lot of photos, and there are two sightings I can post and that's it.

I suggest we do another road then for April, any ideas which road will be suitable, there is not much left, only unpopular roads. And it does not make sense to nominate a member if the choice is so difficult.

The flavours go for two months, Klippies, but I hear what you say! ..0..

There are quite a few popular roads that are not yet chosen. ;-)

A lousy photo, but still a great sighting on this remote northern loop road and I have never seen this little falcon again.

Wow, what a sighting, Klippie ^Q^ ^Q^

I'll add it to the Bird book. There is only one other pic and yours is better ;-)

And here is another "sighting", actually I did not see anything, a noise far in the mopani bushes to the southern end of the loop, then a glimpse of a leopard dragging the kill, another glimpse and then only spots in the greenery -O-
