Leopard photo event

The Sandgrouse is also amazing, love this

[Flutterby]

nan...it did look like quite a youngster.

Lis, I'm sure those little buffs can also do quite a lot of damage!

Toko, we actually saw more Sandgrouse than ever before.

On our second morning we decided to head up the tar to Babalala and then back to camp on the Mphongolo Loop. If you want to see ellies this is where you need to go!! This road was just wall to wall heffalumps!

This young cow gave us a mock charge...an adrenaline rush is always good first thing in the morning!



This boy had a broken leg, but seemed to manage ok.



This big fellow kept us waiting behind him for quite a while!



This pic is heavily cropped, so not great. Looked too small to be a DCG. Could it be a Lizzard Buzzard...looks like it has a black throat stripe?



Queleas or whydahs?



Especially for Lis.



This big breeding herd would not move off the road until we had reversed out of sight!



We saw this raptor(think it's a young bateleur) in the riverbed, but couldn't work out what it's rather large catch was.



Kudu horns from the high level bridge.

Great TT as always Flutts & Brat & Mommo

Poor Ellie - she doesn't seem bothered

[Mel]

Not sure about your raptor either, Flutts. But I looked it up in our bird book regarding the size
and when you say it was smaller than a DCG, it might well be your Lizard Buzzard.

I think, your little birdies are queleas. The beak seems to be quite big / thick (which is the way
I try to tell them from one another).

Definitely a juv. bateleur.

Ouch for the ellie!

Wonder if the ear-holed one is an acquaintance of aat.

[steamtrainfan]

We are just so overjoyed at the most amazing sightings you guys have had. No words can describe the leopard sighting.

[Lisbeth]

Thanks for the squirrel You could have taken it from the front though
Agree with Mel what the birds are concerned

[Richprins]

Great sightings!

Don't think those are queleas!

Bateleur may be eating a barbel?

[Tina]

lovely elephants
