Hi SM! Thanks!

I think the dungy is a Large Copper Dung Beetle. https://africawild-forum.com/viewtopic.p ... 82#p142608

I love the "dung cylinder"... =O: =O: =O:

Glad you also rebel against the new bird names! ;-) \O

The dung beetles are not as frightening as the rest! :shock:
\O I only rebel against puerile bird names, what was wrong with calling it the Grey Turaco?

I think Dung Beetles could be pretty scary - imagine one hitting you in the face while you are riding a motorbike, or one landing in your dinner! :twisted:

This one was trying out a new concept, the Dung Cylinder!
You always crack me up with your narration. =O:

Love the juvenile fish eagle and obviously your attention to detail on the insects once again.
Particularly the violet shimmering dung beetle. \O

But the lourie is fantastic as well - and I see why you don't wanna use the new official name.
Go-away-bird? Gimme a break. 0-
Exactly!

Glad you are enjoying my TT! \O \O

Day 1, Saturday 16 November 2013. Ngwenya Lodge, Morning Drive continued.

At the Lower Sabie Bridge a Hippo was taking a siesta.

A Diederik Cuckoo was at Sunset Dam along with a juvenile and adult Jacana, a Hippo and what looks like a female weaver of some sort.

Then it was back to Ngwenya for my siesta and some more little monsters...

To be continued.....
