A wild dog sighting is good for the general mood

(Our WIFI battery "blew up", so have been unable to get onto the internet for a couple days, but have just caught up here

The meal looks YUMMY, the "Dad wars" are exasperating
, so I'm sorry that got thrown into the trip, but I also feel for him
.
Love the Woodland Kingfisher, the colors of the animals against the greenery are so striking (Impala, Bushbuck, Giraffe...), the 'boons are often so cartoon-like you have to smile, and the Green Pigeon I always find so regal looking and so well dressed
Wild Dogs
More please

When I had read your answer to my previous comment, I was sure you must have found the lions by the end of the day.
Well, obviously I was wrong. But wild dogs are way more precious, methinks
And I like Anna's thinking

Grand!!!
It is amazing how tempers grow in the park and then dramatically improve with great sightings...
It's obviously all that quality time we spend together that causes tempers to soar!

Thanks Ex! I do get very frustrated with my dad but then I think about how he used to be and I just feel sad!
Thanks for your comments.

Close to Lower Sabie we came across a troop of baboons playing in the trees. They were having an absolute ball and so were all the visitors. There was actually a traffic jam here!!

Anna decided baboons were her favourite again, and she wasn't going to change her mind this time!

Go, bateleur, go
Stunning raptors, methinks, and your first shot is amazing
