and I get to a large nest ...
O/\ a Cobra, Cape Cobra began to climb the tree, to the conquest of the nest ... two PCG arrive and waiting ... the Serpent finally,comes down , crosses the road ... I go back one metre to make sure he does not sneak in to the car and it continued on his way ...
Then I later learned the whole story ... thank you Stef :-)
