The return - second part*

[nan]

At Polentswa ... Bingo, a Warthog comes to drink
It seems that no other animal does not dare to approach, and Red Hartebeests and Gnus patiently waiting their turn.
On my left, the Shaft-tailed Paradise Whydahs and-Red-headed Finches, come and go between the tree and water. I try a few pictures in flight

I make a stop at Lijersdraai picnic spot ... if I "have" to stay long at the water hole, I must ... maybe it will be better
At the water hole there is full of Ostriches, Jackals ...
I remain almost 2 hours, scans every trees, every bushes, tall grass, I change place and still looking, and looking again from different angles ... it is 13h, I have to resign myself and I'm leaving ... South

Whyda etc...

On my way, a Martial Eagle, but all is quiet.
Will I still find the Lions
Yes they are lengthened to Kwang under two of the trees, of the place. We are two cars. I park next to the tree on my right side ... without seeing that I am at 1m. from the large male
He licks itself, turns, turns again, looks at me and joined her mate on my left, which moves toward the two females.
I open "only 20 cm... while keeping the finger on the button to close the window... in case of emergency
not easy to have pictures

At Cubitje Quap, Vultures, Lappet-faced and White-backed took the cars's place, and a Secretary Bird.
A bunch of Kudus males just left the waterhole, beautiful

That day I met Sharifa and Duke on the way (I think) for (to) Grootkolk

Visit to the hide after a small picnic ... a Forktail Drongo perched on a branch nearby catches the insects attracted to light... during the night

Everything is loaded, I go to bed ... I'm just in time... before the power cut ... I still don't like the dark

à suivre...

[nan]

much more chance with... Antelopes than cats
