BluTuna goes West

[BluTuna]

Once again awesome pictures, BluTuna,

especially the steenbokkie, the shellducks, your landscapes, the weavers and the ripples in the sand which is so much KTP

Thanks again Pumbaa, there are so many things that are unique to the KTP

[BluTuna]

Awesome pics again Blutuna

Shelduck in Kgalagadi That must be quite a rare sighting and I wonder where they go when the
water dries out

Thanks for the extra sandy faced meerkat

Beautiful tawny and great BEF sighting

I can only presume that the Shelducks get in their 4x4 and trek off to pastures wetter

I thought the sandy Meerkat was too cute not to post a close-up!

Thanks Pooky

Such interesting scenery and vistas for someone who has never been to KTP. Nice shelduck sighting.

Is Flutts an imaginary water nymph?????

I was a tree nymph at school .... my house was called Dryads! -O

Isn't it time you went there? The pictures do not do it justice!

And I'll bet you were a wonderful tree nymph!

I wonder what RP was when he was a schoolboon, a gremlin perhaps?

[BluTuna]

Not much to say... those landscape shots make me 'homesick' once again

I must admit that reliving my trip through this travel tale has given me a hankering to go back sooner than I anticipated. But I must get my 2 week Kruger fix first so it looks like 2015 maybe?

[BluTuna]

homesick... homesick... is a small word
completely sick

these designs on the red dunes... always for my last day... to keep in memory how much it's beautiful
thank you BluTuna

My pleaseure Nan, thanks for all the comments

[BluTuna]

Do all Boons have a one-track mind?

Whatever are you talking about?


Great nestbuilding pics!

Didn't know one could find a in KTP?

Thanks RP, I didn't expect to see either

[BluTuna]

A tawny eagle with a mane -O

Very nice sociable weavers

An oryx was making good use of his long tongue (I have an aunt who can do that!).

Whahahaha Classic

Day 11, Thursday June 13, Twee Rivieren. Morning drive continued....

A juvenile Martial Eagle who seemed to be having balance problems



Some Brindled Gnu portraits.



Distant Suricates who were too cold to do anything but stand in the sun.


Whitebacked Vulture.



A Lanner Falcon in the road.


Just before the picnic spot there's a salt-lick which was being visited by an Oryx.


There were plenty of Springboks in the area


Some were getting frisky




And these two were kicking up a dust storm




And then, (insert suitable expletive here), my SD card was full and by the time I managed to load a new one they'd settled their differences.

Here's the alpha ram looking pleased with himself


To be continued.....
