Great shot of the handsome guy on your way to Transport Dam and as I'm a sucker for sunsets that will be my favourite here 
God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

We did have a number of good sightings for such a quick trip but did clock up some miles as well
My SO loves the sunset and sunrise shots as well .

The clear water survace was broken and a large mass appeared close to the Impalas .

A croc was warming up on the bank of the dam .

The sun glinting off the water of the dam was very mesmerizing .

The Impalas were still coming down in groups .

On the far bank another Hyena arrived and went behind a rock for a while

A new bakkie arrived and parked next to us .After a short while there was a metallic banging next to us .We wondered what could possibly be wrong with their bakkie to make such funny noises . Looking around I located the problem and it was actually on our vehicle it was a Hornbill banging on the chrome running bars on our car

While I was watching there was a sudden flutter and another pushy bird appeared on the car . After a while the hidden Hyena reappeared and walked all the way around the dam and past the car park .

We decided to take our leave and carry on towards Afsaal ...

Interaction with the birds
Not a bad place to sit for a while. Normally there are lots of waterbirds too, but then I have only been there in summer
