Both of the AWCs in trees were on the right when heading to MM - they were in a crook of the tree a bit above eye level. I didn't go further than Dalkieth waterhole on my drives so they are somewhere there.nan wrote:almost all I saw were on the right side on the road going to Mata Mata, in the +/- small treesBluTuna wrote:The AWCs were somewhere to the southeast of Mata Mata!![]()

Thursday 17 September. Mata Mata.
Early start again!
Giraffes in early light.

A broken Ostrich egg,

A PCG took off....

and was escorted from the area by three Black Crows.

An Oryx heading for water.

Swallowtailed Bee-eater.



At Craig Lockhardt. Lions? Where?

There they are.... hiding behind a bush.


AWC, same cat, same place as yesterday - Judging by the timestamps on the pictures, this was less than five minutes drive from Craig Lockhardt.




In the camp, that lizard again.

Back out for the afternoon drive.
Redbilled Quelia.

The Lionesses were a bit more visible.

Whitebacked Vulture.

And one of the Lionesses decided to catch some rays.


Springbok.


More Giraffes.

And some scenery.
