Water lilies.
Timbavati baobab.
A short giraffe.
Malachite kingfisher.

The S39 was quiet but then someone stopped to tell us to look out for some mating lions ahead. Luckily their distance markers were good otherwise we might have missed them.
The female didn't want to show herself.

This was our last night in Kruger.
During the night we were woken up by a noise outside. By mistake, I had left a closed bottle of oil next to the sink but a honeybadger still sniffed it out. He had managed to open it, and was lying on his back drinking from the bottle like a baby!
I can't imagine what that did to his tummy!
We had no exciting sightings on our way out the next morning, so that was it for Last Year's Flutter!

Poor honeybadger, but he can only thank himself if his stomach does not like the oil
Thank you, Flutty
and don't wait for years before writing the next TT, please
I wish you lots of great sightings next week
