As they came closer, we realized that there were some not so new borns in the breeding herd trying their luck at the milk bar

But besides the bovines, we had to settle for some bird sightings


Not that that in itself is anything bad. We do enjoy them, but we were being greedy :o0ps: :o0ps:

We saw this fork tailed drongo

Looking at Debbie it seems that it cold in the evening ;-)

Yes, those big herds of wildebeests walking towards a waterhole are quite impressing ^Q^

It was great to meet Gorid \O \O
