Richprins' Escapades to Marloth

[Richprins]

Ex!

[Pumbaa]

Interesting fancy ant, Richprins

that waterbuck male looks impressive

[Richprins]

Never noticed this watering spot along the spruit before...so this is where the aminals drink!

Old thatching grass thrown on the road in a desperate attempt to stop erosion, which is terrible there!

Water still leaking at our northern neighbours, after 5 years... (It stopped last year for a while... )

And a smal lflutterby just before home!

[Richprins]

Some birdies at the seed table, I think they are red-headed weavers, non-breeding and females!

And I began work on disposing of the pile of devil's thorns that Dwarf's sister had removed...it is quite a process, you chop them up into smaller pieces using a spade, then lift them into the bag using the big braai tongs! Hard work!

Of course I got an injury...

[Richprins]

This tiny fly :

Leachy looking academic, he likes to sit on the stoep and read Lowveld History etc!

Come to think of it, I think I came with him and Dwarf only joined us later?

The buffalo thorn fruit...

[Pumbaa]

Love the birdies at the seed table

Could spend hours in watching the come and go there

[Richprins]

The sun is perfect for late-afternoon shots!

The cracking of horns alerted us to two bulls play-fighting that night!

leachy was not happy with his old braai, so used his new one!

[Richprins]

Next morning, a roadblock on the forest walk!

A pretty flutterby in nice light!

And an old giant land snail shell!

[Richprins]

And not much else till back near home...my girlfriend and her baby!

These helmetshrikes move tantalisingly close, just not close enough!

And back at home this dead fungus-type on a piece of firewood!

[Lisbeth]

One of the starlings has put on the evening suit

The fungus looks a bit like a tree beehive

The old braai is very big and for few people it consumes a lot of wood and takes longer to get to the right temperature

Nice helmetshrike

Are you sure that it's your girlfriend?
