Lovely, Gavin! 
Are hartebeest rare there?
Didn't know there were warthog there in the desert!
Nice sunset and eagle.
Is that only water in those cups?

Everyone, thank you for commenting on my report. I appreciate the input 
Thursday 2 June 2022
We were awake early and first at the Polentswa waterhole just after gate opening time
All was quiet, except for the future stars of the day, already out looking for breakfast
And a couple of thirsty springbok

We had already planned on spending a fair amount of time just sitting at the waterhole and watching. (That sort of happened during our stay at Polentswa, but FOMO did take over at times) 
It wasn’t too long before the doves and sandgrouses started waking up and wanted to get rid of that na dors (after thirst)
Let the show begin ...........
We had a great time watching the jackals hunting
