It is interesting how the crocs face downstream...they are actually waiting for fish trying to come upstream, I think...that is why they also wait downstream if that makes sense? ..0..

Love the green-backed heron shot a couple pages back O/\ That water dik-kop photo would make a lovely pic to try (High-contrast, High-light :-? :-? ) technique on (the one Michele started a topic about). Wonderful monitor pics, nursing Ellies are always a winner, but that sunrise takes the cake. ^Q^ ^Q^

The only disadvantage of that view was that the sun setted too fast and early for our liking but for sure the night sounds are also fantastic \O

We had seen this before on the S52 the very first causeways crossing the Shingwedzi either from Shingwedzi camp or from Bateleur camp \O but they normally always disappear very fast these ones were more than lazy O/\
