Well the time has come to start another TT, but it is a bit pointless for my mom to do a TT and then I do the exact same thing just with slightly different pics, so based on that I have decided to change it up a little! 0()
On all of our trips to Kruger I bring a little diary that I record all the animals seen that day in plus the spot and spotter of the day, highlight of the day, routes taken, temperature, mileage for the day etc. This got me thinking - why not do the exact same thing, but on my computer. :-? ;-)
So here goes.........

Morning Route : Joburg - Phabeni - S1 - H4-1 - H1-2 - H1-3 - Letaba
Afternoon Route : Letaba - H1-6 - Letaba

Dewi, I am very pleased to report that the Brat is starting to take an interest in the birdies...he even made us stop a couple of time for the ones I'd missed! \O

This TT seems to be good fun :-) Looking forward to the 'spotter of the day' category!
It seems that somebody already spotted quite well after the long drive from Joburg ;-)
Good to hear you get interested in birds, that makes Kruger even more interesting \O
