Soon there will be a lot of tadpoles

They look like a group of shipwrecked sharing a safe little island

Image

Another one arriving

Image

Old one-tooth came to say hello :-)

Image

Always nice to see a vulture these days

Image

Mr red-backed shrike

It had not been a very interesting day, but any day in Kruger is a good day \O

WoW Lisbeth,

to all the birds you saw - Awesome that there are so many different ones around O/\ - Love your dam atmosphere shots, the buffaloes and ellies \O

and for sure all the other animals - looks like dam watching can be very successful O\/
