A Spotty Flutter

How strange to see hippos behaving like lions

Lovely birdies

The wader is possibly a Common Greenshank - it seems to have a slightly upturned bill which is diagnostic.
Lucky you with seeing a spectacled weaver - that one eluded me. :)

Lovely bird photos. :)

Thanks for the help with the ID.

I can't remember what route we took for our afternoon drive! In Kruger, I always have a little notebook where I write down each road we take and what we see on it. For this drive, I was driving so it was up to the Brat to keep notes, and all he wrote was S29 and H4-1, but I have no idea how we got to and from the S29!

Anyway, we didn't have too many noteworthy sightings.

European Bee-eaters.

Kori Bustard

The Brat got this African Hawk-eagle.

This ellie cow had some nice tusks.

On the H4-1, we found more hyenas at the den.

A Verreaux that would not turn around.

Another late-night visit from the genet.

There seem to be hyenas all over the place

Lots of wonderful sightings

Catching up, Flutts!

What a spectacular leopard sighting, adrenaline indeed!

And new birdies, the flying eagle shot is lucky!

Always something to see, indeed.

Thanks Flutterby,

lucky that you saw a genet Love the shots from the hippos and the buffaloes in the riverbed and great that there were lions at Sunset dam - Never had that luck so far

On top such a great variety of different birds

Yes, never a dull moment in Kruger (except when you do have a dull moment)!

The next morning we packed up to move to Satara. We had planned to go via the H10, but after driving for a few kms and not seeing anything, we questioned our decision and decided to head back to the H4-1 and go up via the H1-2.

Again, we found hyenas at the den.

A grounded Fish-eagle.

Not sure of this one? Any ideas?
