Africa Wild

Vultures


At Cubitje Quap I also found a lot of Vultures… and 3 or 4 Secretaries Birds and it was not easy to share with Gnus. Always impressive to see these big scavengers

Here some White-backed Vulture/Vautour africain



Most of them are nesting, near Urikaruus, almost all the trees are occupied

In (on) the dune and a lot in a close tree, near Kij Kij

At Kij Kij, wow the biggest Vulture, Lappet-faced Vulture/Vautour oricou, made its show

the Ostich in the back seems to be... tiny



it has a drink, chase a Crow or two, then ran several meters and took off
not easy for a so heavy bird

At Urikaruus, this Gnu, came to drink and took the opportunity to do a "makeup" ... the result is convincing ......







done

The newborns have arrived

so cute little things

They are cute, the two little ones who discover themselves

the fire truck... at Grootkolk



maybe better use these ones -O

the waterhole at Grootkolk didn't work very well, so Andres decide to have a look

armed with a brush
to push away... the predators... a herd of Gnus -O

this picture need explanation

when I'm out, I put my picnic in a smal plastic bag, then the reliefs
at home, yes at home I empty the little/tiny fridge and normaly put asap inside the dustbin, this time no why
... and a moment later I heard noise... and saw the small bag disappear under the gaz stove, slowly but surely
when Eric comes, we looked under the stove and a mouse, quite big mouse was eating the egg's shells
naughty anne-marie, is not allow to feed animals in the park

sorry not in focus... but -O

Cute little bokkies! Awww...

Those mice at Grootkolk always came by to prey on some morsels...
Even the sociable weavers and a familar chat. They always sat on the
ground when we were eating. The weavers even hopped onto our table.
SO was not amused.
