Sightings WOW, photos not so... (Oct 2018)

[Lisbeth]

At Grootkolk a bird bath is doing a big difference if you are not going out

[Mel]

Totally agree!

And with the bird bath on the ground, we also had the skinks and the squirrels drinking. One day when we were on a drive and the bird bath dried out one of the squirrels must have gotten mad and messed with it. It was not in the same place anymore by the time we got back

[Lisbeth]

We had mongooses too

Ja, we did in April, but this time they were no-shows

What unit were you in at GK?

[Lisbeth]

I don't remember but it was in front of the water hole and we had the communal kitchen on the left hand side looking at the WH.

[Mel]

No. 3 then

It looks like they have taken out those pitfalls. I fell over them quite a few times when we were last in unit 3. This time it was easy moving

Would have loved to join your and simply let all the birdies and critters come

Magnificent shots, Mel, I cannot imagine of a better place to stay without moving

Magnificent shots, Mel, I cannot imagine of a better place to stay without moving

So true, Pumbaa

But if it weren't for the birds, it could have gotten boring at times when nothing was moving at the waterhole

We had several groups of kudus coming and going over the nine days, but almost always during the heat of the day when photos come out at their worst. There was a group of 7 and a group of 11 and at another time a group of 15 coming to drink. Not sure exactly what the setup is there We also had these two males coming in one morning.
