On the S28, somewhere between the private lodge turnoff and the Nlanganzwani Dam turnoff.

I think it's only the second time we've seen Dickinson's Kestrel!

Yes, it was a bit frustrating and it was also the latest we've ever been past gate closing time. I felt a bit sorry for the gate guards, they suddenly had a queue of 70 or more cars to let out of the Park!

Yes Toko, the S28 is cheetah heaven for us, we've seen more on that road that anywhere else in the park!

What is it if it's not a Dickinson's Kestrel?

Dickinson's Kestrel does not have barred underparts, it's all grey and confined to the far North. An Accipiter -O-
