Needless to say that we enjoyed the presence of these birds very much
and after we got our shots we paid a short visit to the hide itself but did not stay long there as it was simply nothing to be seen but we had another tsessbe sighting just behind the river crossing as suddenly
a group of them appeared between the mopane bushes
and allowed us to take some close up shots.
Then we needed a break from driving and entered Mopani camp for an ice cream break as well and to stretch the legs a bit and overall it meanwhile heated up and it was once again one of those extreme hot days. In camp Timon discovered this strange looking tree trunk,
another squirrel,
a very loud brown headed parrot and also the paradise flycatcher couple was flying around but same could not be captured as they were simply too active.
Needless to say that we once again drove into the direction of Mooiplaas but the roan could not be found again but nearly at the same spot where we met them earlier a group of tsessebe was around
and also this antelope meant it well with us today as we never saw that much and different herds in that area before.
