What a special sighting!!! And even if I feel a bit sorry for the sandgrouse I'm totally in awe by the incredible encounter you witnessed there! Stunning pix you captured

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
Re: my friends, my loves... my rotten time...
I've got a couple of months worth of catching up to do here Nan, but just had to comment on your Lanner hunt sequences. Amazing sighting and even more amazing photos.
Simply brilliant.
I promise to catch up on the rest as soon as I'm able.

Re: my friends, my loves... my rotten time...
9h - 10h – 10h30 ... still nobody and around 11h. 2 guys arrive, a mechanic and a driver. They take me to the "crime scene"
I leave the frozen (I had put in the fridge to camp ... 6th sense ?) in the freezer of Eric, I will later pick up it, before going to Kieliekrankie.
ILLUSION
we stayed 3-4 hours trying to fix ... they had a new carburetor ... and nothing else, I gave them a lot of small material that I always take with me, the carburetor was not exactly the right model
when all was posed, the car still does not start. They drank almost all my reserves of water, cokes, hot now, I had bought the day before, it was over 40 ° under a leaden sky, without a breeze of air.
And then they said "there is nothing we can do."
Okay, so drop me at Kieliekrankie with all my luggage. We emptied the car of all its contents
It was time to leave if they want out of the park in authorized hours. A KK, they all carried in my cottage, No. 3, not the easiest to access
We phoned once more (intern. call) to P. who offered to bring me a new car the next morning.
two "left hand" at work
