En route to the south, we find Giraffes, a Spotted Eagle Owl, Gabar Goshawk, LBR and again a Red-necked Falcon, then Scaly-feathered Finches, which I call "mustache" lol

In the 13th, or is it the 14th ... Lion family sleeps under a small tree. This may well be the family with the unique small one :-?

we meet Katja and Edith who tell us they found Hanri few km further south ... well hidden. We have sought ... the bush was so small ... not easy to see, wonderful camouflage \O

Cape Glossy Starling builds a nest ... the nest is not too visible, but it carries a lot of material. And again one "asleep lol :o0ps:

At the begining, there was three babies O/\

..........not easy, she is really well camouflaged, we see a small one and it seems that we see the another one moving.
We observe a moment.
We investigate whether few Springboks or other antelopes come either from the south or the north ... it might be interesting to see her start at full speed, we are well positioned for pictures, but nothing on the horizon.
Again thank you Katja, explanations were good 0/0

Around 15h we come to KK.
Still as magical to discover these cabins planted in the red sand.
We take possession of the No. 4... the best for the sunset ;-)
