Great pics of the PCG and snake!

I'll believe you that that was a Striped Kingfisher...just looks like a ball of fluff!

Quite a weight for the PCG, but the take off looks successful
Poor little squirrel taken for a predator
Yet another monitor
Striped kingfisher? If you say so
Lovely colours in the pic of the water hole

Always wondered what those little alcoves in a chalet were for, nana...office!
Tv but no aircon...
Nasty killer butterflies there in the desert!
Rare leguan there, if I recall?
Looks like a good spot there in camp, did you order it?

Green(Redbilled) Wood-Hoopoe very nice
Lovely to have that waterhole view
Such a super variety of birds nan
That is a huge snake being caught

Can eat and eat for a long time
Springbok running beautiful

and ...and... and
Great to see all these wonderful sighting through your eyes

we find both Wood-Hoopoe, but this one "only" one
incredible what the PCG can carry
eat for ten days ... if nobody come to stole it
lot of suspens... for you... but for me it was the same

the little alcove is very well, with electricity, ligth, tea, etc...
TV... at the same hours like the aircon
never try
yes Leguan are almost rare, when I posted it on FB, somebody tell to me "thank you Photoshop"

, never, ever used Phosophop
No, I never (or almost never) asked for an unit, so happy to be there, every unit is nice and simply to be there is
yes Butterflies are killer... and not only

and now something to prepare a little bit at the worst...
A Shaft-tailed Whydah makes an appearance and I observe beautiful flowers running along a large trunk. There, too, cars stopped and left immediately.

Before the 13th Hanri and the gang is there, ready to rush to ensure the menu of the day. We are less than ten cars, I am well placed and on the left side of the road. A smarter, comes to park at my side preventing others from moving. For me, it is unthinkable to move myself one cm for the next 10 minutes. !!!!!

Hanri

all take their place

almost ready

and more...

all....

... well almost all
